Adenomera cotuba, the Teresina de Goiás tropical bullfrog, is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is endemic to Brazil.[2][3][1]
Habitat
This frog is found in Cerrado biomes and in rocky areas with limestone, such as savannas and dry forests. Scientists have seen it between 275 and 840 m (902 and 2,756 ft) above sea level.[1]
Scientists have reported these frogs in protected places, including Área de Preservação Ambiental Pouso Alto and Parque Nacional da Chapada dos Veadeiros.[1]
Reproduction
Scientists believe this frog puts its eggs in nests made out of bubbles. Scientists think the tadpoles grow in the nest.[1]
Threats
The IUCN classifies this frog as near threatened. It is endemic to a large deforestation arc that is subject to ongoing land conversion. The frog lives in savanna grassland and dry forests, which people convert to intensive agriculture. Hydroelectric projects may also be a danger to this frog.[1]
