Description
[ Back to top ]
Habitat
Biome: Terrestrial ; Freshwater [1].
Ecology:
It is found in open, rocky areas, generally in dry forest
, and in
more humid vegetation in canyons
. It is partly rupicolous and able
to climb vertical
walls within the narrow canyons of the Isalo Massif.
Andreone et al.
(2006) note
that the species is largely fossorial
and specialised to live within
the narrow and wet canyons of the Isalo Massif, and has a high dispersal
capability
(most likely during storms in the rainy season
). Breeding
is presumed to take place in shallow, temporary pools
.[1].
