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.
