The Laguna de los Pozuelos' rusted frog (Telmatobius rubigo) is a frog. It lives in Argentina.[2][3][1][4]
Home
This frog spends almost all its time in the water. Scientists found it in streams on puna grassy places. Scientists found the frog in the water plants and under rocks. The scientists saw the frog between 1800 and 4500 meters above sea level.[1][2]
Scientists found the frog in a protected place, Laguna de Pozuelos Biosphere Reserve.[1]
People
People catch other frogs in Telmatobius to eat and use in medicine, but scientists do not know if people eat this frog.[1]
Other frogs
Scientists used to think this was the same frog as Telmatobius marmoratus, but they are two different kinds of frogs.[4]
Danger
Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is in a little danger of dying out. Human beings grow corn, beans, and flowers near the strem where scientists found the frog. Fish from other parts of the world, for example trout, can kill this species. Human beings take water from streams to use for farms and give to animals. Human beings may also start mining nearby. Scientists think the fungal disease chytridiomycosis could kill this frog because it has killed other frogs in Telmatobius.[1]
