Allobates nidicola is a frog. It lives in Brazil.[2][3][1]

This frog lives in a kind of Amazon rainforest called igapó. This frog mostly lives on the ground. People see it on the dead leaves on the ground or other things on the ground. Scientists have seen the frog 50 meters above sea level.[1]

This frog lives in many protected parks.[1]

The female frog lays eggs on the dead leaves on the ground. She lays two to six eggs at a time. The tadpoles grow into frogs in the nest and never swim in streams.[1]

Scientists say this frog is not in danger of dying out. In some places, human beings cut down trees to make places for cows.[1]
