This frog lives in many kinds of places, including tree farms, forests, and paddy fields. The female frog makes a nest out of foam on a plant over water. When the eggs hatch, the tadpoles fall into the water.[1]
Scientists believe this frog is not in danger of dying out because it lives in such a large place.[1]
