Allobates fuscellus is a frog. It lives in Brazil. Scientists think it could live in Peru too.[2][3][1]

This frog lives in Amazon rainforests that are not too high above sea level. It can live in forestst that were never cut down and in forests that are growing back. Scientists have seen the frog between 60 and 250 meters above sea level.[2][1]

The female frog lays eggs on land. After the eggs hatch, the adult frogs carry the tadpoles to streams, where they swim and grow.[1]

Scientists say this frog is not in danger of dying out. In some places, people cut down trees to get wood to build with.[1]
