Where LeSueur's Frogs Live
This frog makes its home in different kinds of forests. It lives in both dry forests and wet forests, like rainforests. LeSueur's frogs can also be found looking for food in areas where humans let animals graze.
Reproduction and Life Cycle
Female LeSueur's frogs lay their eggs in calm pools of water next to streams. They also choose other spots where the water doesn't flow too fast. The eggs are special because they stick to the bottom of rocks and other surfaces underwater.
Health Concerns
Like some other frogs, the LeSueur's frog can get sick from a fungal disease. This disease is called chytridiomycosis.
