Hellmich's rocket frog (Hyloxalus vergeli) is a frog. It lives in Colombia.[2][3][1]
Home
This frog lives near streams in forests. It can dig holes in the ground. People have seen this frog between 520 and 2100 meters above sea level.[2][1]
This frog lives in many protected parks, for example La Tribuna.[1]
Young
This frog lays eggs when the weather is rainy. The female frog lays eggs on the ground. After the eggs hatch, the male adult frog carries the tadpoles to water.[1]
