About Craugastor laevissimus (Werner, 1896)

Craugastor laevissimus is a species of frog that belongs to the family Craugastoridae. This species is native to Honduras and Nicaragua. Its natural habitats are lowland and sub-montane wet and moist forests, and it is able to survive in degraded forest and secondary growth areas. It is typically found along streams and small rivers. Craugastor laevissimus was once a common species, but its populations have since declined. The exact reasons for this decline are not fully understood, though habitat loss, chytridiomycosis, and pollution are counted among the possible contributing causes.
