Craugastor obesus is a species of frog in the Craugastoridae family. It is found in the Caribbean slopes of southeastern Costa Rica and western Panama.[2] Its natural habitats are lowland moist forest, premontane and lower montane wet forest and rainforest. It can be found in the spray zone on rocks, boulders, and cliff faces in the middle of moderate-sized cascading streams.[1]
Craugastor obesus is a rare frog. In Costa Rica it was last time recorded in 1984. Recent sampling efforts within its range in Panama have not produced any new observations either. The main threat to this species is chytridiomycosis.[1]
