Telmatobius brevipes is a species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. It is endemic to Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forest, subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland, subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland, rivers, arable land, and canals and ditches.
It is found in Peru; it is a species present in the western cordillera, in the departments of Cajamarca and La Libertad, between 2000 and 3520 m altitude.
Contamination of water bodies can be a local threat. Other species of the same genus found at high altitudes are very susceptible to chytridiomycosis, so it is inferred that this disease is a threat to Telmatobius brevipes.
Centrolene buckleyi is a species of frog in the family Centrolenidae. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland, subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland, and rivers. It is becoming rare due to habitat loss. It is named for the naturalist Samuel Botsford Buckley.
Telmatobius macrostomus, also known as the Lake Junin (giant) frog or Andes smooth frog, is a very large and endangered species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. This completely aquatic frog is endemic to lakes and associated waters at altitudes of 4,000–4,600 m (13,100–15,100 ft) in the Andes of Junín and Pasco in central Peru. It has been introduced to slow-moving parts of the upper Mantaro River, although it is unclear if this population still persists.
The Ancash water frog is a species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. It is endemic to Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland and rivers with stony bottoms and weak currents. This species has been assessed as Vulnerable by the IUCN under criteria B1ab(iii,v), and has an extent of occurrence of 16,946 km2 across the Central Peruvian Andes at altitudes of 3,680–4,818 m asl. All populations occur in different hydrographic systems, and could qualify as being quite fragmented in its distribution, and though not specifically recorded, anthropogenic pressures such as pollution from mining concessions, collection for food and possible chytrid infection.
Telmatobius hockingi is a species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. It is endemic to Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forest and rivers. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Telmatobius intermedius is a species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. It is endemic to Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland, subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland, and rivers.
Telmatobius mayoloi is a species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. It is endemic to Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland and rivers. This species is primarily found in central Peru. They can also be found in Andes, Ecuador, Chile, and Argentina in high elevation areas ranging from 1,300 to 5,400 meters high.
Telmatobius necopinus is a species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. It is endemic to Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forest and rivers.
Telmatobius rimac is a species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. It is endemic to Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland, subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland, rivers, arable land, pastureland, and canals and ditches.

Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forest, subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland, subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland, rivers, freshwater marshes, arable land, pastureland, rural gardens, heavily degraded former forest, ponds, and canals and ditches. It is threatened by habitat loss. It was named for American scientific collector Perry O. Simons.

The grey-bellied shrike-tyrant is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay. It is a large flycatcher at 24–25.5 cm (9.5–10.1 in) long.
