Home
This frog lives in grassy places and on farms. It leaves near ponds, streams, and other wet places.  Scientists saw the frog between 0 and 700 meters above sea level.

This frog lives in many protected parks, for example Chandaka Wildlife Sanctuary, Simlipal Tiger Reserve, Kanger Ghati National Park, Rajaji National Park, Sanjay National Park, and Nauradehi Wildlife Sanctuary.

Young
The female frog lays eggs in pools of rainwater, usually pools that dry up later. The tadpoles grow in the water.
