Strabomantis ingeri inger s robber frog
Strabomantis ingeri, or Inger's robber frog, is a species of frog in the Craugastoridae family. It is found on the eastern and western slopes of the Cordillera Oriental, Colombia (Cundinamarca, Santander, and Norte de Santander Departments). Its altitudinal range is 1,550–3,320 m (5,090–10,890 ft) asl. It might occur in adjacent Venezuela. It is named after Robert F. Inger, an American zoologist from the Field Museum of Natural History.
The species' natural habitat is leaf-litter in cloud forest; it can occur in disturbed areas provided that small patches of forest remain nearby. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by logging and agricultural development.
