← Previous revision Revision as of 13:29, 29 April 2026 Line 28: Line 28: Its natural [[habitat]]s are [[primary forest|primary]] and [[secondary forest]]s where it occurs in leaf-litter or on stones near water, often in association with small temporary pools (even those formed in boot prints). Breeding takes place in streams and ponds; the eggs are laid in foam nests in wide pools in the streams. Much of the species' range was once subject to significant logging, but that has largely subsided, and large swaths of suitable forest remain. What threat the frogs now face comes from urbanization, agriculture, fires, cattle grazing, and tree farming.<ref name="iucn status" /> Its natural [[habitat]]s are [[primary forest|primary]] and [[secondary forest]]s where it occurs in leaf-litter or on stones near water, often in association with small temporary pools (even those formed in boot prints).
