This frog lives in old forests. The female frog lays eggs on leaves over water. When the eggs hatch, the tadpoles fall into the water.[1]
Scientists believe this frog is not in danger of dying out because it lives in such a large place. But because it can only live in old forests, scientists think it may suffer more from habitat loss than other frogs.[1]
