Proceratophrys branti is a frog. It lives in Brazil.[2][3][1]

This frog lives in Cerrado places between 250 and 1340 meters above sea level.[1]

Scientists have seen this frog in many protected parks, for example Área de Proteção Ambiental Jalapão, Área de Proteção Ambiental Pouso Alto, Área de Proteção Ambiental Serra do Lajeado, Estação Ecológica Serra Geral do Tocantins, Parque Estadual do Jalapão, and Parque Estadual do Lajeado.[1]

The male frog calls to the female frogs at night. Scientists think the tadpoles swim in small streams.[1]

Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is not in danger of dying out.[1]
