Leptodactylus kilombo


Leptodactylus kilombo is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is endemic to Brazil.

Habitat

Scientists have observed the frog in Brazil's Caatinga and Cerrado biomes, 600 feet above sea level. They have also seen it in altered habitats, such as pastureland. While it has not been reported in any protected areas, its range overlaps several.

Reproduction

The male frog sits near dry streambeds and calls to the female frogs from leaf litter. This frog builds a foam nest for its eggs. The tadpoles develop in water.

Threats

Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is not in danger of dying out. In some places, human beings change the places where the frog lives to make towns and farms.
