Female Field Frog

The Tianhou frog is a species of frog belonging to the family Ranidae. This species of frog is endemic to Japan and is widely distributed in Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, and some surrounding small islands. This type of frog mainly lives near streams in mountainous areas and forests. During the breeding season from April to May, they lay eggs in the rock crevices or soil at the water inflow points in streams. Their tadpoles can complete metamorphosis and begin terrestrial life without the need for food. During the non breeding season, they can be seen in the fallen leaves on the forest floor next to the stream.
