Proceratophrys cururu is a species of frog in the family Odontophrynidae. It is endemic to Brazil.[2][3][1]
This frog is nocturnal and largely terrestrial, hiding in tufts of grass during the day. The frog lives in savanna, gallery forests, and shrubland in Cerrado biomes. Scientists observed the frog between 800 and 1300 meters above sea level.[2][1]
The frog has been found in some protected places: Parque Nacional Das Sempre Vivas, Parque Estadual do Rio Preto, Parque Estadual da Serra do Intendente, and Parque Nacional da Serra do Cipó.[1]
