The Huánaco water frog (Telmatobius punctatus) is a frog. It lives in Peru.[2][3][1]

Home

This frog lives in streams in cloud forests and puna places. Scientists saw this frog between 2300 and 3000 meters above sea level in valleys between the Andes Mountains.[2][1]

Scientists have seen this frog one protected park: Nor Yauyos-Cochas Landscape Reserve.[1]

Young

People see the tadpoles swimming in streams that have plants growing in them.[1]

Danger

Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is in big danger of dying out and Peru's Categorization in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna says it is in very big danger of dying out. Potato farms, mines, and houses can put bad chemicals in the water. Human beings cut down too many trees. People also use this frog to use in food and medicine. Scientists believe the fungal disease chytridiomycosis could kill this frog too, but they have not found the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis on this frog yet.[1]
