Guajira stubfoot toad

So, imagine there's a little frog that lives in a very special place called the Guajira Peninsula. This frog is called the Guajira stubfoot toad. It's called a stubfoot toad because its toes are shorter than most other frogs.

Now, the Guajira stubfoot toad is a bit of a special frog because it can only live in one small area. It likes to live in really dry places where it can dig down into the sand to find water. The Guajira Peninsula is perfect for them because it's very dry and sandy.

Unfortunately, the Guajira stubfoot toad is in danger. People are cutting down trees and using up the water in the area where it lives. This makes it harder for the little toad to find enough water to survive.

But there are some people who are working to protect the Guajira stubfoot toad. They are studying the toad and learning more about where it lives and what it needs to survive. They are also working to teach people about why it's important to protect this little toad and its home.

So, in summary, the Guajira stubfoot toad is a special type of frog that can only live in one small area. It needs our help to make sure it has enough water and a safe place to live.
