Appearance
"Craugastor raniformis" is a relatively large frog with a rather pointed snout. Adult females are much larger than males.Behavior
During the day individuals are found on the forest floor concealed in leaf litter. At night they may climb to vegetation to heights of 2.5 m above ground or more. Males and juveniles climb more than the larger females. The call of males has been described as a "ha ha ha ha".Female "C. raniformis" have been observed to guard their eggs. Along with other species in the genus "Craugastor", "C. raniformis" lays terrestrial eggs that hatch directly into small froglets. Guarding probably protects eggs against predators and fungi.
