Ecnomiohyla minera is a special type of frog that lives only in Guatemala. It's part of the Hylidae family, which includes many tree frogs. This frog is quite rare and faces challenges in its home.
About the Ecnomiohyla Minera Frog
This unique frog, also known as Ecnomiohyla minera, was first described in 1985. It's a small amphibian, meaning it can live both on land and in water. Like other frogs, it starts its life as a tadpole in water before growing into an adult frog.
Where Does It Live?
The Ecnomiohyla minera frog is endemic to Guatemala. This means you won't find it living naturally anywhere else in the world! Its natural habitat is in warm, wet mountain forests. These are known as subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. These forests are usually found on the sides of mountains, where there is plenty of rain and moisture.
Why Is It Endangered?
Sadly, the Ecnomiohyla minera frog is currently listed as vulnerable. This means it is at high risk of becoming endangered in the future. The biggest threat to this frog is habitat loss. This happens when the forests where it lives are cut down or changed by human activities. When their homes disappear, these frogs have nowhere to live, find food, or reproduce. Protecting these special forests is very important to help the Ecnomiohyla minera frog survive.
