Physalaemus signifer is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is endemic to Brazil. This frog is an obligate forest dweller. It has been found in flooded areas and in and near ponds within and near the edges of primary and secondary forest. Scientists have seen it between 0 and 1,200 m (0 and 3,937 ft) above sea level. It has been reported in protected places.
These frogs reproduce in temporary and permanent ponds and in nearby mud or leaf litter. The adult frog makes a foam nest for the eggs. The tadpoles develop in the ponds. The IUCN classifies this frog as least concern of extinction. Its principal threat is forest loss associated with urbanization, small- and large-scale acrigulture, silviculture, and livestock grazing. Wikipedia →

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Girard's Dwarf Frog sighting in Serra dos Órgãos National Park on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 4th most-seen of the 10 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Girard's Dwarf Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Serra dos Órgãos National Park (12 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
