Description

Habitat

Typically found at an altitude of 0 to 1,657 meters (0 to 5,436 feet).[1]

Ecology: It is typically seen on rocks and vegetation along small lowland forest streams , but is also seen away from streams in forest, or in highland areas. Primary and degraded forests are equally favoured, but a reasonably closed canopy and gently flowing water are essential. Adults disperse widely in the forest and may even be found in wooded gardens. Breeding occurs at quiet side pools of forest streams or in temporary ponds at the edges of forests. On Sumatra it also breeds in ponds and in paddy fields . Tadpoles live in side pools and quiet, deeper sections of streams (Grandison, 1972, Dring, 1979). (Ref. 61064)
