The Bokermann's bromeliad frog (Crossodactylodes bokermanni) is a frog. It lives in Brazil.
This frog lives in trees in rainforests on hills and mountains. It lives in bromeliad plants that grow on the trees or on the ground. Scientists saw the frog between 500 and 1500 meters above sea level.
Scientists saw the frog in three protected places: Reserva Biologica Augusto Ruschi, Estação Biológica de Santa Lúcia, and Parque Estadual do Forno Grande.
The female frogs lay eggs one at a time on the bromeliad leaves, above or below the water. The frog's tadpoles swim in water in the bromeliad plants.
Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is not in danger of dying out. During the past hundred years, human beings changed the places where the frog lives to make farms and places for animals to eat grass. Today, there are large forests still growing, and people do not change them much.
