Conraua crassipes is a species of frog in the family Conrauidae. It is found in eastern Nigeria, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea (including Bioko), Gabon, the Republic of the Congo, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.[1][2] Presumably it also occurs in the southwestern Central African Republic and in the Cabinda Enclave of Angola.[1]
It is a common species living in or near fast-flowing, clear-water rivers and streams in low altitude rainforest. It tolerates some habitat degradation, provided that trees remain and the habitat does not become too open. It is negatively affected by habitat loss: the loss of its forest habitat for agriculture, logging and human settlements, and sedimentation of its breeding streams.[1]
