Odorrana supranarina
Odorrana supranarina is a frog in the family Ranidae (order Anura), recorded as Endangered and tied to Japan.

Adult males measure 59–77 mm (2.3–3.0 in) and adult females 81–103 mm (3.2–4.1 in) in snout–vent length. The body is stout with triangular head. The snout is pointed. Dorsal ground colour varies from light brown to greenish brown. There are no distinct markings.
A newly metamorphosed individual measures about 13 mm (0.5 in) in snout–vent length.

It is endemic to Ryukyu Archipelago, Japan, and is known from the islands of Ishigaki and Iriomote, both in the Yaeyama Group.
Pins are Wikidata “endemic to” fields. Orange dots, when present, are GBIF occurrence tiles — survey bias included.
Breeding
Calling males and egg sites define most frog field work. A species known from one ridge is as narrow as it sounds.
Eggs and damp skin make amphibians quick to vanish from a drained wetland or a forest stripped of litter.
In crisis
Habitat loss and degradation caused by logging and human settlement are threats to it, particularly on Ishigaki.
Chytrid fungus, collection, and wet-forest loss are the usual pressures on frogs with a high threat category.
