Range & habitat
This terrestrial frog has been observed in riparian forests in Yungas. People have also seen it in grassy places where animals eat grass. Scientists observed the frog between 800 and 1400 meters above sea level. This frog can tolerate disturbed habitat so long as there is sufficient humidity. The frog's range includes protected parks: Pilón Lajas Biosphere Reserve, Area Natural de Manejo Integado Nacional Apolobamba, and Area Protegida Municipal Cabeceras de Maniqui.

What it does
The male frog sits near the edge of the forest and calls to the female frogs. The female frog lays eggs on the ground. After the eggs hatch, the male frogs carry the tadpoles to water, for example streams.
