Pelophylax terentievi, commonly known as Terentjev's frog or Central Asian pond frog, is a species of frog in the family Ranidae. It is found in Xinjiang, China and Tajikistan, [2] and possibly in Afghanistan. [1]
Its natural habitats are swamps and hot deserts. Its status is insufficiently known. [1]
Pelophylax terentievi have complex layers of tubular bones where dark rings are present. Dark rings are due to growth stunts during periods of inadequate nutrition or hibernation. [3]
