Scientists say this frog is not in danger of dying out because it lives in such a big place. It lives in forests high up in the hills. Some of the places it lives are in protected parks.[1]

This frog lays eggs in holes in trees. It hatches out of its egg as a small frog and never swims as a tadpole.[1]
