People have seen this frog high in the place where the tree branches come together like a roof in forests in Taitung and Hwalien. This frog lays eggs in holes in trees that have water in them. People have seen its eggs and tadpoles in the water.[1]
Scientists believe this frog may be threatened by cutting down the forests where it lives, but there is less tree cutting in Taiwan than there was.[1]
Scientists used to think this was the same frog as Kurixalus eiffingeri, but they changed their minds after looking closely at the frogs' DNA.[1][4]
