The Iguape dwarf frog (Physalaemus spiniger) is a frog. It lives in Brazil.
This frog lives in forests and at the edges of forests and in scrubland near the ocean. Scientists have seen it between 0 and 800 m (0 and 2,625 ft) above sea level. Scientists have seen the frog in protected places.
The male frogs sit near ponds and call to the female frogs. The adult frog makes a nest out of bubbles for the eggs. The frog puts the nest on top of the water, at the bottom of the water, or on the dead leaves on the ground.
Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is not in danger of dying out. Some of the frogs may be in some danger from people changing the places where the frogs live by cutting down too many trees and to make towns, make large and small farms, and make places for cows to eat grass. People used to cut down trees to get wood to use but people do not do that any more. Now, people take only a little wood.
