This frog lives in oak forests, but scientists have seen at least one in a place where all the trees had been cut down.[3]
Scientists believe this frog hatches out of eggs as small frogs and never swims as a tadpole, but they are not sure.[3]
This frog is in danger of dying out because people cut down trees to make farms to grow palm oil and to get wood to build with.[3]
