Cryptobatrachus conditus is a species of frog in the family Hemiphractidae. It is found in Colombia.
Habitat
Scientists described the frog from preserved museum specimens. They infer it lives similarly to its congeners, in forests in the Andes Mountains, especially near waterfalls. Scientists have seen this frog 1,030 m (3,380 ft) above sea level.
Reprodution
Scientists believe this frog has young the same way other frogs in Cryptobatrachus do: The female frog carries her eggs in a pouch on her back. The young either emerge as small froglets or she carries the tadpoles to water.
Threats
The IUCN classifies this species as do not know with no known specific threats.
