Telmatobius hauthali is a species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. It is endemic to Argentina.[1][2]
Home
This frog is heavily aquatic. Scientists found it at exactly one site, a geothermal spring in Argentina's Catamarca Province, 4020 meters above sea level. Scientists have not found this frog in any protected parks.[1][3]

This frog has young streams.[3]
Threats
Both the IUCN and the Argentine National Red List classify this frog as endangered. Principal threats include introduced predators, such as trout. People also allow livestock to drink from the spring where the frog lives, and they trample the vegetation that the frogs rely on. Scientists consider the fungal disease chytridiomycosis a potential future threat.[3]
