Kitumbeine Volcano

[2] Ketumbeine volcano activity continued throughout the Pleistocene.

[3] The mountain is home to a endemic frog known as Strongylopus kitumbeine or Kitumbeine Stream Frog, which belongs to the Pyxicephalidae family.

[4] The species inhabits Afromontane Juniperus forests and tussock grasslands at elevations ranging from 2,100–2,800 m (6,900–9,200 ft) above sea level along semi-permanent and seasonal streams and around temporary pools.

While it is common within its restricted range, it has been classified as a vulnerable species due to threats from Maasai livestock grazing and fire, as well as its small range.
