This frog lives high in the trees where the branches come together like a roof.[1]
Scientists think this frog is in danger of dying out because it has only been found in a small place: 129 square kilometers. However, scientists think it could live in other places too, but humans have cut the trees down to get wood to build with.[1]
Scientists think human beings changing wetlands could hurt this frog.[1]
