The black spiny-chest frog (Eupsophus roseus) is a frog. It lives in Chile.

Home

Scientists found this frog in forests with Nothofagus plants and on pine tree farms. People see them on the dead leaves on the ground. Scientists saw this frog between 50 and 1200 meters above sea level.

Scientists have seen this frog inside some protected parks: Monumento Natural Cerro Ñielol, Parque Nacional Nahuelbuta, Monumento Natural de Contulmo, Reserva Nacional Nonguén, and Reserva Costera Valdiviana.

Young

This frog lays eggs from September to January, when it rains. The female frog lays about 200 eggs at a time. She lays them in water-filled hopes in the ground. The tadpoles live in the nest and do not eat. Scientists believe the adult frogs take care of the tadpoles.

Danger

Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is not in danger of dying out. People change the places where the frog lives to get firewood and make tree farms for pine trees and eucalyptus trees. Too many visitors and forest fires can also hurt the frog's home.
