Leptodactylus barrioi is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is endemic to Brazil.[2][3][1]
Habitat
This frog is a habitat generalist. It lives in terrestrial microhabitats in savanna, closed-canopy forests, the edges of forests, marshland, both active and abandoned pasture, and cabruca, a specific type of shaded cacao farm. Scientists saw the frog between 20 and 625 meters above sea level.[1]
Reproduction
The frog deposits its eggs in a foam nest in a hole underground. Rainfall later washes the tadpoles into nearby permanent and temporary pools of water.[1]
Threats
The IUCN classifies this frog as least concern of extinction. In some parts of its range, urbanization and the development of farmland pose some threat.[1]
