    The Titicaca frog, or Telmatobius culeus, is a critically endangered species of amphibian found in Lake Titicaca between Peru and Bolivia. It is one of the largest frogs in the world, able to reach 50 cm in length. As a semi-aquatic species, it spends most of its time in the water and has thick, wrinkled skin and highly developed lungs that allow it to breathe both water and air. Unfortunately, the frog is threatened by water pollution, overfishing, and hunting for its meat, and conservation efforts are underway to protect it and its habitat.

    RANA DEL TITICACA

     The Titicaca frog, also known as Telmatobius culeus, is a


    species of amphibian that inhabits Lake Titicaca, located
    in the Andes between Peru and Bolivia. This frog is
    known for being one of the largest in the world, being
    able to measure up to 50 cm in length.

     Regarding its biology, the Titicaca frog is semi-aquatic,


    which means that it spends most of its time in the water.
    It has thick, wrinkled skin that helps it survive in the low
    temperatures of Lake Titicaca. In addition, it has a
    highly developed lung capacity that allows it to absorb
    oxygen from water and air.
     The Titicaca frog feeds on a variety of prey, including insects, crustaceans, and small fish.
    In turn, it is prey to birds and mammals that inhabit the surroundings of the lake.
     Unfortunately, the Titicaca frog is critically endangered due to water
    pollution and overfishing. In addition, its meat is considered a delicatessen
    in some areas, which has contributed to its decline. Efforts are currently
    underway to protect this species and its habitat, including creating protected
    areas and educating local communities about the importance of conserving
    this unique species.
