Nagoya Damo Frog

Nagoya Damo Frog

The Nagoya Damo Frog, also known as the Nagoya Damo Frog in Chinese, is a species of amphibian belonging to the family Ranidae and the genus Cichlidae. It is a unique frog species in Japan, distributed from the East China Sea to the coast of the Seto Inland Sea. The Nagoya Damo frog is traditionally divided into two local forms: the Okayama form in the west and the Nagoya form in the east. These two forms differ genetically, but their distribution range is still unclear, so they have never been defined in taxonomy.
