Indirana
''Indirana'' is a genus of frogs in the family Ranixalidae. These frogs are endemic to the Western Ghats of India. They are sometimes known under the common name Indian frogs, whereas members of their parent family are named "leaping frogs". ''Indirana'' represent an ancient radiation of frogs that diverged from all other frogs almost 50 million years ago. This has credited '' Indirana gundia'' as a status of one of the "Top 100 Evolutionarily Distinct and Globally Endangered Amphibians". Description ''Indirana'' species are small and slender-bodied frogs. They are typically found in leaf litter or near streams. The tadpoles have hind limbs and finless tails, and are able to leap away to escape threats. Taxonomy Traditional classifications place the genus within the subfamily Ranixalinae of the family Ranidae, along with the genera ''Nannophrys'' and ''Nyctibatrachus''. The Ranixalinae have also been placed under the family Nyctibatrachidae. Darrel R. Frost ''et al.'' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Indirana Semipalmata
''Indirana semipalmata'' is a species of frog endemism, endemic to the Western Ghats region of southern India. They are small frogs, reaching lengths of about from snout to vent. The species breeds during the monsoons, laying their eggs on moist rocks and tree bark. Their tadpoles are Terrestrial animal, terrestrial - hatching, feeding, and undergoing Frog Metamorphosis, metamorphosis without ever entering any standing bodies of water.
