Kra Stream Toad
Ansonia kraensis
Ansonia kraensis (Kra stream toad) is a species of toads in the family Bufonidae. It is found on the Kra Isthmus, Thailand. It is morphologically similar to Ansonia malayana from Malaysia, but differs from it in ventral coloration and larval morphology. The exact threats are unknown but are likely forest loss for logging and agricultural expansion.
