Ameerega simulans is a frog. It lives in Peru.

Home

This frog lives in rainforests on hills. People see it on the dead leaves on the ground. Scientists saw the frog between 300 and 600 meters above sea level.

Two of the places the frog lives are protected parks: Bahuaja-Sonene National Park and Manu Biosphere Reserve.

Young

The female frog lays eggs on the ground. After the eggs hatch, the male frog carries the tadpoles to water.

Danger

Scientists say this frog is not in danger of dying out. In some places, humans change the places where the frog lives to make farms and places for cows to eat grass.
