Odontophrynus carvalhoi is a frog from Brazil that lives in dry areas. It spends most of its time underground and comes out after heavy rains.
This species differs from other frogs by being excellently adapted to life in dry areas and can stay underground for a long time. It is important for nature because it eats many insects and serves as food for snakes and birds.
