This frog lives in mature forests. The female frog lays eggs on leaves over water. When the eggs hatch, the tadpoles fall into the water.[4]
Scientists classify this frog as in least concern of extinction because of its large range, but because it lives in mature forests, it may suffer more from habitat loss than other frogs.[4]
