This frog can live in many kinds of places. People have seen it in swamps and forests, but it mostly lives near rivers. People have seen it in fruit farms. Sometimes, people accidentally move this frog from place to place while it is hiding in the fruit.[1]
This frog lays eggs in temporary bodies of water and places that are temporarily flooded. The tadpoles become frogs after 65 days.[1] The tadpoles are yellow in colour and can grow to 6.0 cm.[2]
