The Colombian swamp frog (Pseudopaludicola pusilla) is a frog. It lives in Brazil, Paraguay, and Bolivia. It may also live in Uruguay.[2][3][1]

This frog lives in grassy places, forests, and near streams. Scientists think it probably also lives in places with low, woody plants and places where animals eat grass. Scientists have seen it between 0 and 150 m (0 and 492 ft) above sea level.[1]

Scientists believe these frogs probably live in at least one protected place.[1]

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