It lives on the ground near the dead leaves. People have not seen this frog in grasslands. Scientists think this frog [[direct development|hatches out of its egg as a small frog]], like other frogs in ''Raorchestes'' do.<ref name=IUCN /> Scientists say this frog is at some risk of dying out because it only lives in one place: [[Kudremukh National Park]]. They also say that, if climate change makes the [[habitat|places where the frog lives]] too dry, then it could be in much danger of dying.<ref name=IUCN /> Scientists think the fungus ''[[Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis]]'' could kill this frog through the disease [[chytridiomycosis]].<ref name=IUCN /> ==First paper== *{{cite journa
