Scientists saw this frog at night on small plants. The frogs were near bodies of water that human beings had made, in a forest. People have seen this frog 140 meters above sea level. Scientists think this frog has young the same way other frogs in Rohanixalus do: by hatching out of its egg as a tadpole.[1]

Scientists do not know if this frog is in danger of dying out or not.[1]
