Scientists have only found this frog in forest that was never cut down. They see it on plants. Scientists have seen the frog between 1,140 and 2,500 m (3,740 and 8,200 ft) above sea level.
There are two protected places in the frog's home, Tatamá National Park and Reserva Natural Cerro El Inglés, and Farallones de Cali National Park is nearby.
The female frog carries her eggs in a bag of skin on her back. The young come out as small froglets, not tadpoles.
Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is in very big danger of dying out. Human beings change the places where the frogs live to make farms, raise cows, and get wood to use. Scientists found the dangerous fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis on some of these frogs, but scientists are not sure how much danger the sickness chytridiomycosis is.
