The Barker frog or Cuvier's foam froglet (Physalaemus cuvieri) is a frog. It lives in Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Guyana, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Venezuela.
This frog is awake at night. It lives in forests, grassy places, flooded grassy places, and places where animals eat grass. Scientists have seen it between 0 and 2,000 m (0 and 6,562 ft) above sea level. Scientists have seen the frog in protected places.
These frogs have young in ponds, puddles, and even cow footprints if they are full of water. The adult frog makes a nest out of bubbles for the eggs. The nest sticks to grass at the edge of the water.
Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is not in danger of dying out. In some places, human beings change the Chaco places to make farms and get wood to use. In some places, bad chemicals from farms can burt the frogs. People also set fires to make places for cows to eat grass. In some places, people digging in the ground for gold can hurt the frog.
