The male frog's male organs are white in color. Home. This frog is awake during the day. Scientists saw this frog in exactly one place, 2620 meters above sea level in the Cordillera Occidental. They saw the frog in streams that were near or on farms. Scientists think this frog might live in Cutervo National Park but they have not seen it there. Young. Scientists believe the female frog lays her eggs on the ground and that, after the eggs hatch, the adult frogs carry the tadpoles to water. They believe this because this is what other frogs in "Hyloxalus" do. They have not seen "Hyloxalus pulcherrimus" lay eggs or carry tadpoles. Danger. Scientists believe this frog is in some danger of dying out because people keep changing the places where it lives: people start fires to make the land ready for farms. Farmers take water away from streams for their farms, so there are fewer places for the tadpoles to grow. Pollution can also hurt this frog. Because scientists saw the frogs next to roads, they think this frog is good at living in places that human beings have changed. Scientists also think the fungal disease chytridiomycosis could have killed many of these frogs. They think climate change could also hurt this frog because it could change the streams of water where the frog lives.

Profane (or profanity) in religious use refers to a lack of respect for things considered sacred. This can involve behaviors that show disrespect or cause religious offense. It is also used in a neutral sense to describe things unrelated to the sacred, such as profane history or literature, contrasting with the sacred or religious. The distinction between sacred and profane was central to the theories of sociologist Émile Durkheim, who considered it fundamental to human religion. Etymology. The word "profane" comes from the Latin "profanus", meaning "outside the temple," where "pro" means "outside" and "fanum" means "temple" or "sanctuary." By the 1450s, the term had taken on the meaning of "secular" or "desecrating the holy." Profanity can imply a secular attitude towards religion, but is distinct from blasphemy, which is a direct attack on religious figures or beliefs. Sacred–Profane Dichotomy. The sacred–profane dichotomy was a key concept developed by Émile Durkheim in his study of religion. He posited that religion consists of beliefs and practices related to sacred things, which are "set apart and forbidden." The profane, by contrast, involves the everyday, mundane aspects of life that can be experienced through the senses. Durkheim stressed that the sacred is not inherently good or evil, nor is the profane. Modern Profanity. With the secularization of modern culture, the realm of the profane has expanded, particularly during the Enlightenment. The 21st-century global worldview tends to be more secular and focused on the profane aspects of human life, such as material concerns, rather than the sacred.
