This frog lives in forests that have never been cut down and in forests that have been cut down and grew back. It does not live in places where too many trees have been cut down. The female frog lays eggs in bits of water high up in the trees. The water is in holes in the trees. People have also seen the frogs breed in buckets of water.

Scientists believe this frog is not in danger of dying out because it lives in such a large place, but they believe people cutting down its forests may harm it. Some of the places where the frog lives are protected parks.

Sometimes people catch this frog to sell as pets, but scientists do not think they do it enough to make the frog die out.
