Alsodes australis is a species of frog in the family Alsodidae. It is endemic to Chile and tentatively believed to live in Argentina as well.[2][3]
Habitat
[edit | edit source]This frog has been found in cold streams in Northofagus forests on mountains. This frog has been observed between 0 and 1400 meters above sea level.[1]
The frog has been observed in two protected areas: Bernardo O'Higgins National Park and Queulat National Park in Chile. There are also some frogs in Argentina's Nahuel Huapi National Park that scientists think may be a population of A. australis.[1]
Threats
[edit | edit source]The IUCN classifies this frog as data deficient. Introduced salmonid fish and American mink may prey upon this frog.[1]
Life cycle
[edit | edit source]This animal breeds through larval development. Tadpoles swim in streams.[1]
