Males measure 53–82 mm (2.1–3.2 in) and females 65–108 mm (2.6–4.3 in) in snout–vent length;[5] on average, adult males measure 75 mm (3.0 in) and adult females 97 mm (3.8 in) in snout–vent length. The tympanum is distinct.[3] The toes are fully webbed and the toe discs are large. The dorsum is scattered with tubercles and large warts. The lips and sides of the head bear white spines. Lips have vertical bars.[6] The dorsum is mostly green with brown and black spots.[3]
Habitat and conservation
Odorrana jingdongensis live in and near montane streams (in particular near waterfalls) in forested areas at elevations of 1,000–1,900 m (3,300–6,200 ft) above sea level; the species has also been recorded along the mossy slopes of a man-made culvert. Breeding takes place in streams where also the tadpoles develop.[1]
The species is threatened by habitat loss and overexploitation for food. Previously common, it is now reported to be rare. Its range overlaps with some protected areas.[1]
