Description
This frog has coossified head and limbs and almost no webbed skin on the feet, so scientists think the frog might fossorial.
Range & habitat
This frog lives in cloud forests, dry forests, pasture, and disturbed habitats. During the day, people see the frogs in cracks in rotted logs, in the ground, and under rocks. At night, they see it on branches. Scientists have seen the frog between 1,740 and 2,130 m (5,710 and 6,990 ft) above sea level.
