Physalaemus nattereri
''Physalaemus nattereri'' (common name: Cuyaba dwarf frog) is a frog native to central and southeastern Brazil and eastern Bolivia and Paraguay. It has two "false eyes" on its rear. The 3–4 cm frog lifts its rear end when threatened, startling predators. This trait is so dangerous and intimidating because, no matter if you're at the front or the back of the frog, it will always appear to be staring at you. If a predator does not get fooled by the eyespots, and decides to move closer, the frog can produce an unpleasant secretion that comes from glands located in the eyespots.〔Camouflage and Mimicry - Owen, Dennis Frank, 1980〕 It has short limbs, and a plump body.
==Habitat==
''Physalaemus nattereri'' is a fossorial and seasonal frog. It inhabits savannas and grasslands in the Cerrado biome and is found on the ground near standing and temporary waterbodies, such as ponds and swamps.〔
