This frog is awake during the day. It lives in bamboo forests and other forests. Scientists have seen it between 250 and 550 meters above sea level.[1]

Scientists have seen the frog in Manu National Park in Peru. They think it could also live in Parque Nacional da Serra do Divisor in Brazil.[1]

Scientists think the tadpoles swim in streams like other tadpoles in Allobates do.[1]

Danger

Scientists say this frog is not in danger of dying out. Human beings do change the places where it lives to make small farms, make big farms, and get wood to build with.[1]
