This frog lives in forests. Scientists think the tadpoles swim in water.[1]
Scientists do not think this frog is at risk of dying out, but they think human beings coming into its forests to take away wood might make some problems, but there is less of this now than there was in the early 2000s. One of the places the frog lives is a protected park: Dayaoshan Nature Reserve.[1]
