Habitat: These frog species live in high-altitude forests. They have been found to live in tree trucks several meters above the ground. They are also more active in drier conditions. They originated in the Madagascar but do to their near extinction they live within the Ambohitantely Species Reserve.
Population: of the NODONTHYLA VALLANI are low due to it being such a small species. The population is also decline within this species due to their habitat being impacted by deforestation and other human factors. They are now rarely spotted in the Madagascar and like mentioned before are in a reservation habitat.
Reproduction- Like most frogs, the NODONTHYLA VALLANI lay eggs which will hatch into tadpoles. They will then turn into frogs which reproduce sexually. These frog species breed in water-filled tree holes. For female frogs the egg fertilization will occur outside of the female's body and not in the inside. The male and female frogs will release their sperm and eggs at the same time.
