Telmatobius timens is a frog. It lives in Bolivia and Peru.[2][3][1]

Home

Scientists found the frog in Valle de Tojologue in La Paz, but they think it lives in other places too. They saw this frog in puna, forest, places with small plants, and in some cloud forests. The scientists saw the frog between 3350 and 3750 meters above sea level. The frog spends some of its time on land.[1]

Scientists saw this frog in some protected places: Área Natural de Manejo Integrado Nacional Apolobamba, Parque Nacional Manu, Santuario Nacional Meganton, and Santuario Nacional Machu Picchu.[1]

Danger

Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is in very big danger of dying out, and so does the government of Peru. The government of Bolivia has it on its Red List of Threatened Vertebrates. Many of the frogs died at about the same time. Many frogs died even though they lived in places that human beings had not changed. Scientists think that the fungal disease chytridiomycosis killed the frogs because it has killed many other kinds of frogs that live in mountain streams and because they found the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis on some T. timens frogs. Human beings also let animals eat grass where the frog lives, and this puts bad chemicals in the water.[1]
