This frog is in a large danger of dying out because people cut down so much of Mexico's forest. Scientists believe the frog might be dead now. Scientists have not seen it since 1961. If any frogs are still alive, there are probably fewer than 50 adults. They think the frog could die from the fungal disease chytridiomycosis, but they have never seen even one frog sick with it.[2]
These frogs live on bromeliad plants in pine and pine-oak forests, but they climb down to streams to lay eggs. Their tadpoles swim in the streams.[2]
