Telmatobius laticeps is a species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. It is endemic to Argentina.[2][3][1]
Between 1949 and 1989, scientists used this frog in laboratories to study endocrinology, karyotyping, larval development, and other things.[1]
Habitat
This fully aquatic frog lives in streams that flow near and through bogs, grassy places, and areas with scattered trees but not deep forest. Scientists observed this frog between 1,900 and 3,100 metres (6,200 and 10,200 ft) above sea level.[1]
