==Habitat==<br />
This frog inhabits secondary forests and in forests with at least some evergreen trees. This frog needs some [[canopy (biology)|canopy cover]] and moist [[leaf litter]]. It has been observed on [[acacia]] and [[arecanut]] plantations. This frog has been observed between 80 and 1042 meters above sea level.<ref name=IUCN /><br />
<br />
==Reproduction==<br />
This frog has semi-aquatic tadpoles that live on wet rocks and moss. They move using their strong tails and hind back legs, which grow in sooner than other tadpoles' back legs.<ref name=IUCN /><br />
<br />
==Threats==<br />
The IUCN classifies this frog as near threatened. Scientists cite pesticides and habitat loss associated with tourism as threats.<ref name=IUCN /><br />
<br />
Scientists also name [[climate change]] as a possible threat. Alterations to the monsoon climate could cause drying of the moist soil the frog requires.<ref name=IUCN /><br />
<br />
The frog's range includes protected parks, including [[Kudremukh National Park]], [[Mookambika Wildlife Sanctuary]], and [[Bhadra Tiger Reserve]].<ref name=IUCN /><br />
<br />
Scientists have observed the fungus ''[[Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis]]'' on other frogs in ''Indirana'', but they do not know its specific morbidity or mortality. ''Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis'' causes the fungal disease [[chytridiomycosis]].<ref name=IUCN /><br />
