About the Chortis Streamside Frog
Craugastor laevissimus is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae. It is found in Honduras and Nicaragua. Its natural habitats are lowland and sub-montane wet and moist forests; it can survive in degraded forest and secondary growth. It occurs along streams and small rivers.
