The Maracas heart-tongued frog (Phyllodytes tuberculosus) is a species of frog in the family Hylidae endemic to Brazil. [2] [3] Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, dry savanna, and moist savanna. People have seen this frog between 900 and 1350 meters above sea level. [1]
This frog has been found in terrestrial bromeliad plants that grow on the rocks. Its tadpoles develop in pools of water that collects in these plants. [1]
Scientists have given this species a tentative classification of "vulnerable to extinction." This frog has a large range, but that range is heavily fragmented, and still subject to change and degradation by humans. [1]
The large-scale conversion of this frog's habitat to sericulture, farmland, and grazing space has left this frog at greater risk of fire and the destruction of its bromeliads. [1]
This frog resembles Phyllodytes luteolus closely, such that they can be mistaken for one another. [1]

The wildlife of South Africa consists of the flora and fauna of this country in southern Africa. The country has a range of different habitat types and an ecologically rich and diverse wildlife, vascular plants being particularly abundant, many of them endemic to the country. There are few forested areas, much savanna grassland, semi-arid Karoo vegetation and the fynbos of the Cape Floristic Region. Famed for its national parks and big game, 297 species of mammal have been recorded in South Africa, as well as 849 species of bird and over 20,000 species of vascular plants.
