Home
This frog lives in streams on mountains in cloud forests. Scientists saw the frog between 2300 and 2800 meters above sea level.[2][1]
Reproduction
The female frog lays eggs on land. The male frog watches the eggs. After the eggs hatch, the male frog carries the tadpoles to water.[1]
Danger
Scientists say this frog is in very big danger of dying out. They think there are no more than fifty adult frogs alive now. People change the places where the frogs live to make farms and raise animals.[1]
