This frog lives in forests and places where smaller woody plants grow. The tadpoles swim inditches or bodies of water that dry up for part of the year.[1]

Scientists believe this frog is not in danger of dying out because it lives in such a large place. However, human beings cut down the forests where it lives to build farms and get wood to build with.[1]
