Werneria tandyi
Werneria tandyi is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae. It is endemic to western Cameroon and known from Mount Manengouba and from the Rumpi Hills.[1][2] It lives by fast-flowing streams in submontane forest and degraded secondary habitats, and several individuals may be found clustered together on rocks in the splash zone. It is common within its limited range but threatened by habitat loss (loss of forests) caused by agriculture and human settlements. It might occur in the Rumpi Hills Wildlife Reserve.[1]
