Stephan's water frog (Telmatobius stephani) is a frog. It lives in Argentina.[2][3][1]

Home

This frog spends almost all its time in the water. It lives in streams in Yungas forests. It does not live in places that human beings have changed.[1] Scientists saw this frog between 2200 and 2300 meters above sea level.[2]

People

People catch other frogs in Telmatobius to eat and make into medicine, but they do not catch this frog.[1]

Danger

Scientists from the IUCN and from the Argentina National Red List say this frog is in big danger of dying out. Fish from other places, for example trout, can kill this species. Human beings also change the places where the frog lives to make farms and get wood to build with. The fungal disease chytridiomycosis may also kill this frog.[1]
