Description General Info
Description
The Huanren frog (Rana huanrensis) is a species of true frog found in East Asia. It was originally believed to be endemic to Huanren County, Liaoning, China, but was later also found in South Korea; it is presumed to be present in North Korea, as well. It is closely related to the Dybowski's frog, Rana dybowskii, and specimens collected before 1991 were incorrectly identified as that species. Distinguishing factors include the absence of a vocal sac.

Diet
Huanren frog is primarily insectivorous, feeding largely on terrestrial invertebrates. Its diet majorly consists of spiders and beetles, demonstrating a marked preference for these over other available fauna.
Appearance
Huanren frog is a medium-sized amphibian with smooth, moist skin. The primary colouration is dark brown, but it features unique light brown patches that may appear granular. Huanren frog has a significant, protruding snout and hind limbs that are longer than its forelimbs, enabling it with exceptional jumping ability. No notable differences are observed between genders, ages, or subspecies.
Behavior
Huanren frog is a nocturnal amphibian species that breeds in ponds and small bodies of still water. Notably, by vocalizing a unique mating call, males of the species attract females for breeding. This species tends to be solitary, demonstrating minimal social behavior outside the breeding season. Habitually, huanren frog uses camouflage within leaf litter for protection revealing its environmental adaptation.
