Aromobates duranti (common name: Durant's rocket frog) is a species of frog in the family Aromobatidae. It is endemic to Venezuela where it is known from near La Culata in the Cordillera de Mérida.[2] Its natural habitats are clear, fast-flowing streams in Andean cloud forest and sub-páramo shrubland. The male protects the eggs that are laid on land. After hatching, the male carries the tadpoles on his back to water where they develop further.[1]
Aromobates duranti is threatened by habitat loss caused by livestock farming. The tadpoles are predated by invasive trout.[1]
