This frog lives in evergreen forests, bamboo forests, forests with many plants, and places with smaller plants. This frog's tadpoles swim in ponds that are not deep.[1]
Scientists believe this frog is not in danger of dying out because it lives in such a large place. However, human beings cut down the forests where it lives to build small farms. People also catch this frog to eat and to make medicine.[1]
