Pseudophilautus asankai
Pseudophilautus asankai is a frog in the family Rhacophoridae (order Anura), recorded as Endangered.
Appearance
The adult male frog measures about 21.2 – 23.4 mm in snout-vent length. The skin of the dorsum and tops of the legs is ash-brown in colour. The toes of all four feet, parts of the legs, and the ventrum are yellow in colour.
Range and habitat
Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and heavily degraded former forest. It is threatened by habitat loss.
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
Chytrid fungus, collection, and wet-forest loss are the usual pressures on frogs with a high threat category.
