Description
Habitat
Biome: Terrestrial ; Freshwater [1].
Ecology:
It is semi-aquatic and has been recorded from riparian
habitats
and
hill
streams
in tropical
moist evergreen
forest
; it may be found
at the forest edge, but not in heavily cultivated land
. There is
little information on its breeding habitats, though breeding presumably
takes place by larval development in streams.[1].

- 1.9 Forest - Subtropical/Tropical Moist Montane
