Overview
Pristimantis euphronides is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. It is endemic to Grenada, an island in the Lesser Antilles, the Caribbean. Is sometimes known as the Grenada frog. It was originally described as a subspecies of Eleutherodactylus urichi, but since 1994 it has been recognized as a full species.
Pristimantis euphronides faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to deforestation, agricultural expansion, and urban development within its limited range. The species' restricted distribution and specialized habitat requirements make it particularly vulnerable to environmental changes and human encroachment.
Habitat
This species inhabits cloud forests and montane humid forests at elevations between 1,500-2,500 meters in the Andes. It is typically found in primary forest with dense vegetation, leaf litter, and high humidity levels.
