Werneria bambutensis
Werneria bambutensis is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae. It is endemic to western Cameroon where it occurs at high altitudes between Mount Manengouba and Mount Oku, including the eponymous Bamboutos Mountains.[1][2] Its natural habitats are fast-flowing streams at elevations of 1,750–2,600 m (5,740–8,530 ft) above sea level, typically within montane forest patches. Outside the breeding season, it also seems to disperse away from streams into forest patches, open bamboo glades, and montane grassland. It is a rare species that is probably threatened by habitat loss.[1]
