Cryptobatrachus fuhrmanni (common name: Fuhrmann's backpack frog) is a species of frog in the Hemiphractidae family. It is endemic to Colombia. It is found on the eastern slope of the Cordillera Occidental, northern and eastern flanks of the Cordillera Central, and the western slope of the Cordillera Oriental.[2] It is a common species frog found on rocks in fast-flowing mountain streams in transition and montane forest.
