Adenomera simonstuarti is a frog. It lives in Peru and Brazil. Scientists think it may also live in Ecuador, Bolivia, Colombia, and Venezuela.

Body

The adult male frog is 26.2 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 25.2 mm long. The skin of the frog's back is gray-brown in color with darker marks from the middle of the back to the rear end. There is a tan-orange line from each eye to near the rear end. There is a dark stripe on each side of the body with a light stripe next to it. There are two dark marks under each eye. There are white spots on the mouth. The upper skin of the front feet are orange-red in color. The belly is gray-white in color.

Home

This frog lives on the ground and dead leaves on the ground in Amazon forests that have never been cut down and forests that are growing back. This frog can live in places that people have changed, for example cacao farms and places where people cut down some trees but not all of them. Scientists have seen this frog between 280 and 700 m (920 and 2,300 ft) meters above sea level.

Scientists have seen these frogs in a protected places.

Danger

Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is not in danger of dying out. In some places, human beings change the places where the frogs live to make farms, get wood to use, dig for oil and natural gas, and make places for animals to eat grass.
