Scientists saw this frog in Caatinga places. It only lives in forests where there is a lot of water in the air. Scientists saw the frog 740 meters above sea level.
Parts of the frog's home are in some protected parks: Floresta Nacional do Araripe-Apodi, Área de Preservação Ambiental (APA) da Chapada do Araripe.
The male frog sits on the dead leaves on the ground next to streams and calls to the female frogs. She puts her eggs in the streams, and the tadpoles swim and grow there.
Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is in very big danger of dying out. Human beings cut down many trees to make farms, towns, tree farms, and places for animals to eat grass.
