Paratelmatobius segallai is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is endemic to Brazil.[2][3][1]
Habitat
People have observed this frog on the leaf litter of montane forests. Scientists have observed this frog between 1,036 and 1,040 metres (3,400 and 3,410 ft) above sea level.[1]
Scientists have reported this frog in one protected area, Parque Estadual Pico do Marumbi.[1]
Reproduction
Scientists believe this frog is an explosive breeder, reproducing after heavy rain.[4] Scientists heard male frogs calling to female frogs near temporary pools. The female frogs deposit eggs in still water, where the tadpoles develop.[1]
Threats
The IUCN classifies this species as data deficient. Scientists reported it in a protected park, which is not subject to urbanization or conversion to farmland.[1]
