About the Macki Tree Frog
The Ranoidea macki is a fascinating frog species. It was first described by a scientist named Richards in 2001. This means it's a relatively new discovery in the world of amphibians.
Where It Lives
This special frog has only been found in a very specific place: the headwaters of the Wapoga River in Papua Province, Indonesia. Headwaters are the small streams and rivers that come together to form a larger river. This suggests that the Ranoidea macki might prefer very clean, undisturbed water environments.
What We Know About It
Because this frog has only been seen in one small area, scientists don't know a lot about its habits or how many there are. It's listed as "Data Deficient" by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature). This means there isn't enough information to know if the frog is endangered or not. More research is needed to learn about its life and how to protect it.
