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.

There can be no republican institutions with vast masses of property permanently in a few hands, and large masses of voters without property.... Let no man get by inheritance, or by will, more than will produce at four per cent interest an income ... of fifteen thousand dollars] per year, or an estate of five hundred thousand dollars.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Nature is the mother and the habitat of man, even if sometimes a stepmother and an unfriendly home.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
