Where Scinax perereca Lives

Scinax perereca frogs live in different kinds of wet and green places. Their favorite homes are:

• Warm, wet forests in low-lying areas.
• Freshwater marshes, which are like grassy wetlands.
• Marshes that sometimes dry up and then fill with water again.
• Areas where forests used to be but have changed a lot, like farms or towns.
• Small ponds.
• Human-made canals and ditches.

Why Scinax perereca Needs Help

Sadly, Scinax perereca frogs are facing a big problem: their habitats are disappearing. This is called habitat loss. When their homes are destroyed or changed too much by human activities, these frogs have fewer safe places to live, find food, and raise their young. This makes it harder for them to survive and thrive in the wild.
