Telmatobius timens is a species of frogs in the family Telmatobiidae. It is found in western Bolivia and southeastern Peru at elevations of 3,350–3,750 m (10,990–12,300 ft) asl.[1][2]
Scientists found the frog in Valle de Tojologue in La Paz, but they believe it lives in other areas as well. They saw this frog in humid puna grassland, elfin forest, Polylepis forest, scrubland edges, and in some cloud forests. Tadpoles develop in streams.[1]
Scientists saw this frog in some protected places: Área Natural de Manejo Integrado Nacional Apolobamba, Parque Nacional Manu, Santuario Nacional Meganton, and Santuario Nacional Machu Picchu.[1]
