Description
Habitat
Ecology: It lives in undisturbed highland forest
, usually close to small rivers
and streams
, and breeds
on land
. The eggs
are laid on the ground
, where they are guarded by the male. The larvae hatch
on land and slide
and tumble downhill into slow- to medium-flowing streams, where they develop further.[1]
