Description
[edit]Strabomantis bufoniformis are relatively large frogs; the maximum snout–vent length attained by males is about 50 mm (2.0 in) and that of females about 94 mm (3.7 in).[4]

[edit]Its natural habitats are riparian habitats in primary lowland moist and wet forests; it has only been found in mature forests. It is a nocturnal species.[1]
