Hylodes caete is a frog. It lives in São Paulo, Brazil. It lives high in the hills in Serra do Mar.
People see the frog on the dead leaves on the ground in rainforests that are not too far from the ocean.
This frog lives in forests where the trees grow close together and the branches come together like a roof. People see it in narrow places with streams with fast water. Scientists have seen this frog between 718 and 818 m (2,356 and 2,684 ft) above sea level.
Scientists have seen the frog in protected places: Parque Estadual da Serra do Mar, Parque Estadual do Jurupara, Parque Municipal Nascentes de Paranapiacaba, and Reserva Biológica Alto da Serra de Paranapiacaba.
The male frogs sit on tree trunks, plants, roots, or rocks and call to the female frogs. The female frog puts her eggs in the stream. The tadpoles swim in the stream.
Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is not in danger of dying out. The frog lives in Serra do Mar, and there are large forests there. Only a few of the frogs are in danger. Human beings change the forests to make towns, farms, tree farms, and places for cows to eat grass. Years in the past, humans cut down many trees to get wood to use, but they only take a little wood now.
