Home
This frog lives in forests, for example forests with Nothofagus plants, swamps, other wetlands, and near ponds and lakes. Scientists saw this frog between 50 and 1100 meters above sea level.[1]
Scientists have seen the frog in many protected parks.[1]
Young
The female frog lays eggs under logs or on moss. Then rain falls and fills the place with the eggs with water. The tadpoles swim in this water. Scientists have seen adult frogs take care of the young.[1]
Danger
Scientists say this frog is not in danger of dying out. People do change the places where the frog lives to make tree farms and places for cows to eat grass.[1]
