Scientists say this frog is in big danger of dying out because it lives in such a small place and because human beings cut down the forests where it lives to get wood to build with and make farms. Scientists think the fungal disease chytridiomycosis could also kill this frog.[2]
It lives in mountain forests with pine and oak trees. People have seen it on bromeliad plants. The tadpoles swim in streams.[2]
