Sachatamia punctulata
Species of frog
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sachatamia punctulata is a species of frog in the family Centrolenidae. It is endemic to the Cordillera Central, Colombia, in the departments of Antioquia, Caldas, and Tolima.[2][3] Its natural habitats are tropical humid and sub-Andean forests along streams at elevations of 360–1,100 m (1,180–3,610 ft) above sea level.[3] It is restricted to forest remnants that are surrounded by inhospitable agricultural habitat matrix. As a result, it is threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation.[1] The frog's range includes at least one protected park, including the Ranita Dorada Amphibian Reserve.[4]
