About the Thomas's Robber Frog
This frog was first described in 1959 by a scientist named Albert Schwartz. It's a unique creature because it's endemic to Cuba. This means you won't find it living naturally anywhere else in the world!
Where Does It Live?
The Thomas's Robber Frog loves places that are warm and wet. Its favorite homes are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. You might also find it hopping around in rocky areas or even inside caves. These places give it the perfect environment to live and find food.
Why Is It Endangered?
Sadly, the Thomas's Robber Frog is in danger. Its biggest threat is habitat loss. This happens when the places where it lives are destroyed or changed. For example, forests might be cut down, or rocky areas might be developed. Protecting its natural home is very important to help this special frog survive.
