Biology
Ghost frogs have morphological adaptation suited to surviving on the rocks around these streams. They are medium sized frogs, reaching a length of 6 centimetres (2.4 in), with flat bodies, enabling them to climb inside rocky crevices. They have very large toe discs in comparison to their size, which helps to cling onto rocks. The mouthparts of the tadpole:Birs are modified into a sucking disc, to allow them to cling to substrates, and remain still while they are feeding.
