Craugastor raniformis is a relatively large frog with a rather pointed snout. Adult females are much larger (snout–vent length 52–74 mm (2.0–2.9 in)) than males (27–43 mm (1.1–1.7 in)).
Range & habitat
This frog has been observed between 0 and 1500 meters above sea level in montane and lowland forests with high humidity. People have also seen it in pastureland. However, people do not often see it in primary forest. The frog's range includes at least one protected park, including the Ranita Dorada Amphibian Reserve, Parque Nacional Darién, and Area de Manejo Especial Nusagandi.
