Leptodactylus bufonius is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, and Paraguay. [2] [3] [1]
These generalist frogs live in many kinds of habitats. In Brazil, it has been reported in Amazonia, Pantanal, and Cerrado biomes. It has been observed as high as 800 meters above sea level. This frog has shown tolerance to anthropogenic disturbance. [1]
The frog has been reported in many protected areas: Mburucuyá, Río Pilcomayo, Defensores del Chaco, and Copo national parks and Salinas Grandes, Chancani, and Loro Hablador provincial parks. [1]
The male frogs dig burrows near ponds for the eggs. [1]
The IUCN classifies this frog as least concern of extinction. In some parts of their range, frogs might face some danger from habitat loss in favor of agriculture and toxicity from agrochemicals. [1]
