About Craugastor augusti (Dugès, 1879)
Adult Craugastor augusti measure 47 to 94 mm (1.9 to 3.7 inches). They have a characteristic fold of skin across the back of the head, and well-developed tubercles on their feet. Their colouration is sexually dimorphic. The natural habitats of Craugastor augusti are shrublands and deserts. It is a terrestrial frog that hides under rocks, inside caves, or within crevices. Eggs are laid in these same types of microhabitats, and develop directly into small froglets, with no free-living tadpole stage. Wild individuals of this species are known to live at least up to seven years, while captive individuals can live up to 11 years.
