Adenomera kayapo

Adenomera kayapo, the Kayapó terrestrial nest-building frog, is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is endemic to Brazil.

Habitat

This frog lives in lowland, non-flooding rainforests. Scientists have seen it between above sea level.

Scientists have seen these frogs in a protected place, Floresta Nacional de Carajás. They may also have seen it in Parque Nacional Dos Campos Ferruginosos.

Threats

The IUCN classifies this frog as least concern of extinction. However, much of its range lies within a major Amazon deforestation arc, where forest is permanently converted to subsistence agriculture, large-scale monoculture, and livestock grazing. Copper, gold, and manganese mining can also affect the frog.
