Distribution and Habitat
The bronzed frog is distributed throughout the Western ghat mountains of South India, along Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Maharashtra at an elevation of 200–1800 m and the wet forests of southwestern Srilanka at an elevation of 60–1830m. The individuals are chiefly found on edges of rocky streams at low altitude. It sits exposed on flat rocks and stones and leaps, often to a considerable distance, into the water when disturbed.

Famous quotes containing the words distribution and/or habitat:
“The man who pretends that the distribution of income in this country reflects the distribution of ability or character is an ignoramus. The man who says that it could by any possible political device be made to do so is an unpractical visionary. But the man who says that it ought to do so is something worse than an ignoramous and more disastrous than a visionary: he is, in the profoundest Scriptural sense of the word, a fool.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“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)
