The Mount Okou Wolterstorff toad or swamp forest tree toad (Wolterstorffina mirei) is a toad. It lives in Cameroon, Nigeria, and Equatorial Guinea.[2][3][1]

Home

This toad lives near streams and waterfalls high in the hills and mountains. Scientists saw it between 2200 and 2700 meters above sea level.[1]

Scientists believe this toad probably lives in the Mount Oku Faunal Reserve.[1]
