Strabomantis anomalus
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Strabomantis anomalus faces severe population decline primarily due to habitat destruction from agricultural expansion and urban development in its restricted Colombian range. The species' extremely limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, with deforestation for cattle ranching and crop cultivation fragmenting its remaining forest habitat. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the moisture and temperature conditions essential for this amphibian's survival.
Habitat
This species inhabits montane cloud forests and humid tropical forests in the Colombian Andes, typically found in leaf litter and low vegetation. It requires specific moisture and temperature conditions characteristic of high-elevation forest ecosystems.
