Cascade frog lives in the mountainous regions of the Cascade Mountains in the northwest of North America. It inhabits near cold clean streams, lakes, and swamps in coniferous forests.
Cascade frog differs from other frogs by its love for cold mountain water and clean streams. It is important for nature because it eats many insects and serves as food for snakes, birds, and mammals.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
