Physalaemus feioi is a frog. It lives in Brazil.

Body

The adult male frog is about 21.2–29.2 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 23.5–31.2 mm. The skin of the frog's back can be gray or brown in color. Parts of the skin are brown with light spots. The adult frog has a black stripe from each eye to the place where the back leg meets the body. There is a white line from the eye to where the front leg meets the body. The throat is light gray with white pots. Parts of the belly are gray with white spots. Other parts of the belly are light brown. Some parts of the feet and belly are red in color.

Home

This frog lives in forests that were never cut down and forests that are growing back. People see it near pools of water, marshes, or on the ground in the forest. Scientists have seen this frog between 397 and 1,234 m (1,302 and 4,049 ft) above sea level.

There are some protected places near where scientists saw the frog lives.

Young

The tadpoles swim in pools.

Danger

Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is not in danger of dying out. In some places, some of the frogs may be in some danger when human beings change the places where it lives by cutting down forest to make towns, farms, tree farms, and places for cows to eat grass. Human beings used to cut down many trees where the frog lives, but now they only take a little wood.
