The Omei brown frog or Omei wood frog (Rana omeimontis) is a species of frog in the family Ranidae. It is endemic to central China (Sichuan, Chongqing, southwestern Hubei, Guizhou, and western Hunan). Its name refers to Mount Emei, its type locality. [2] Its natural habitats are hill forests and grass clumps in forests. Breeding occurs in late summer and the tadpoles overwinter; the breeding habitat is standing water (ponds, pools, flooded fields, and backwaters of small streams). It is not considered threatened by the IUCN. [1]
Female frogs reach a length of 67 mm (2.6 in), males are slightly smaller. [3]
