This frog is not in danger of dying out, even though it only lives in one small place. This is because most of the frog's home is inside protected parks where human beings are not allowed to build roads or buildings or harm the animals.[3]

Scientists have seen this frog's eggs and young inside the water in pitcher plants.[3]
