The northern red-legged frog is a species of amphibian whose range is the coastal region stretching from southwest British Columbia to southern Mendocino County in Northern California, and is protected in Oregon and California. As a member of the genus Rana, this species is considered a true frog, with characteristic smooth skin and a narrow waist. This frog requires still waters for breeding, and is rarely found at any great distance from its breeding ponds or marshes.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Northern frog</span> Species of amphibian

The northern frog, or the Rotung oriental frog is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is found in Bangladesh, Bhutan, northeastern India, Tibet, Nepal, and western Myanmar.

Nanorana minica is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is found in northern India and in western and eastern Nepal. It is a fairly common species found in subtropical montane forest and streams. It is threatened by habitat loss through the localized clearance of forest. Tadpoles of this N.minica has been reported to overwinter in the streams. Stream flow management and subsequent habitat modification by check dams is one of the threats the species is facing and check dams have been found to influence the overwintering tadpoles' behavior, habitat use patterns and morphometric traits.

Odorrana hejiangensis is a species of frog in the family Ranidae that is endemic to China. It is found in the Yangtze River Valley of southern Chongqing and northern Guizhou, with an isolated record in western Guangxi. Its name refers to the type locality, Hejiang County in northern Sichuan. Its natural habitats are shaded hill streams and the surrounding riparian forests. Its status is insufficiently known.
