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