People have seen this frog in many different kinds of places: evergreen forests, forests that have been cut down and grown back, teak farms, and plants near roads. The frogs sit on plants 1 to 2 meters above the ground. Like other frogs in Raorchestes, this frog hatches from its egg as a small frog and never swims as a tadpole.[1]
Scientists believe this frog is not in danger of dying out because it lives in such a large place and because it is good at living in places that human beings have changed. One of the places this frog lives, Parambikulam Tiger Reserve, is a protected park.[1]
