The Allipacca water frog (Telmatobius intermedius) is a frog. It lives in Peru.

Home

This frog lives in streams grassy places and places with short, woody plants. Scientists saw this frog between 2860 and 3300 meters above sea level.

Scientists have seen this frog in one protected park: Reserva Nacional Pampas Galeras.

Young

The tadpoles swim in streams.

Danger

Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is in very big danger of dying out and scientists from Peru say there is not enough information. Human beings change the streams where the frog lives by letting animals eat and leave waste near the streams. People also catch this frog to eat. Scientists also believe the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis could kill the frogs by giving them the fungal disease chytridiomycosis, which has killed many frogs in South America.
