The La Hotte bush frog or Baker's robber frog (Eleutherodactylus bakeri) is a species of frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae endemic to the Massif de la Hotte in southwestern Haiti.[2] Its natural habitat is closed-canopy forest (now largely gone). This arboreal frog hides by day in bromeliads where it also lays the eggs. It is threatened by habitat loss.[1]
