The sucre water frog (Telmatobius simonsi) is a frog. It lives in Bolivia.[2][3][1]

Home

This frog spends almost all its time in the water. It lives in streams in cloud forests and Yungas forests. People see them on rocks and in the mud at the bottoms of streams. Scientists saw this frog between 1000 and 2800 meters above sea level in valleys between the Andes Mountains.[2][1]

Scientists have seen this frog in some protected parks: Parque Nacional El Palmar and Parque Nacional Amboró.[1]

Danger

Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is in very big danger of dying out. There were many of these frogs years ago, but a lot of them died at the same time. Scientists believe the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis killed the frogs by giving them the fungal disease chytridiomycosis, which has killed many frogs in South America. Human beings also change the places where the frog lived to make farms, to get wood to build with, put bad chemicals in the water, and let animals eat grass near the frogs' home.[1]
