Habitat and conservation
Rhinella ruizi occurs in high-Andean interior forests at elevations of Script error: No such module "convert". above sea level. Development is probably direct (i.e., there is no free-living larval stage[6]). It is a common species within its range and it may tolerate a low degree of habitat perturbation. The main threats to it are habitat loss and degradation caused by agriculture, livestock, and urban expansion.[1]
