Home
changeThis frog lives in forests that human beings have not changed too much. People have seen the frog between 274 and 800 meters above sea level in other places.[3][1]
Some of the places the frog lives are protected parks: Yanachaga-Chemillén National Park, and Parque Nacional Cordillera Azul, Parque Nacional da Serra do Divisor, and Reserva Extrativista do Alto Juruá. Scientists think it could also live in San Matias-San Carlos Protected Forest.[1]
Young
changeThe female frog lays her eggs on the dead leaves on the ground. After the eggs hatch, the adult frogs carry the tadpoles to water.[3][1]
Danger
changeScientists say this frog is not in danger of dying out. Humans do change the places where it lives to make farms.[1]
