Distribution and Habitat
The Corsican painted frog is found only on the island of Corsica. It mainly occurs in the central region at altitudes of 300 to 1,900 metres (980 to 6,200 ft), especially in mountain torrents and both still and flowing water in woods and forests. It shares its range with the Tyrrhenian painted frog ((Discoglossus sardus)) but is a more montane species, adept at leaping from rock to rock.

Famous quotes containing the words distribution and/or habitat:
“In this distribution of functions, the scholar is the delegated intellect. In the right state, he is, Man Thinking. In the degenerate state, when the victim of society, he tends to become a mere thinker, or, still worse, the parrot of other men’s thinking.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Neither moral relations nor the moral law can swing in vacuo. Their only habitat can be a mind which feels them; and no world composed of merely physical facts can possibly be a world to which ethical propositions apply.”
—William James (1842–1910)
