Home
[change | change source]Scientists saw this frog on the dead leaves on the ground in forests with Araucaria evergreen trees. They saw it between 300 and 1200 meters above sea level.[1]
The frog lives in a big place, and there are many protected parks in it.[1]
Young
[change | change source]The adult frog lays eggs in streams. Scientists believe the frogs put eggs under rocks in the streams.[1]
Danger
