Home
changeThis frog lives in rainforests on hills. People see it on the dead leaves on the ground. Scientists saw the frog between 300 and 600 meters above sea level.[1]
Two of the places the frog lives are protected parks: Bahuaja-Sonene National Park and Manu Biosphere Reserve.[1]
Young
changeThe female frog lays eggs on the ground. After the eggs hatch, the male frog carries the tadpoles to water.[1]
