Nanorana unculuanus (common names: Yunnan Asian frog) is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is endemic to central and southern Yunnan, China , although it is expected to have wider distribution than currently known, possibly extending into Vietnam.[2] Its natural habitats are fast-flowing hill streams and riparian habitats in forests and grasslands, but also man-made habitats like roadside drainage ditches and ponds. It is a rare and secretive species that appears to be declining. It is currently threatened by collection for food and also by habitat loss.[1]
Nanorana unculuanus are medium-sized frogs: males grow to a snout–vent length of about 76 mm (3.0 in) and females to 79 mm (3.1 in). Tadpoles are up to 35 mm (1.4 in) in length.[3]
