Pseudopaludicola boliviana is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Guyana, Paraguay, Suriname, and Venezuela. [3] [4] [1]
This terrestrial frog lives in several types of habitats: Cerrado, Chiquitano forest, other forest, moist savanna, swamps, and pastureland. Scientists have seen it between 0 and 700 m (0 and 2,297 ft) above sea level. This species has been reported from protected areas. [1]
Pseudopaludicola boliviana demonstrate a high dietary plasticity with minimal variation between sexes. Their diet consists primarily of Coleoptera, Diptera, and Acari. [5]
This frog reproduces in temporary and permanent ponds and moist grasslands. The female frog deposits her eggs in the water, where the tadpoles develop. [1]
The IUCN classifies this frog as least concern of extinction. In some parts of its range, the frog may be in danger from fires, farms, logging, pollution, and infrastructure development. [1]
