Adenomera aurantiaca, the orange-legged terrestrial nest-building frog, is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is endemic to Brazil.[2][3][1]
Habitat
This frog lives in lowland rainforests that do not flood. Scientists have seen it between 78 and 102 m (256 and 335 ft) above sea level.[1]
Scientists have seen these frogs in one protected place, Floresta Nacional de Itaituba II, along the Rio Jamanxim.[1]
Threats
The IUCN classifies this species as least concern of dying out. However, some of the frogs live near the expanding town of Trairão, and small-scale agriculture has had a significant impact.[1]
