Description
The average SVL in females is 6.2 cm (2.4 in) and 5.36 cm (2.11 in) in males. It looks different than most other taxa in the genus Rana found in China. The frog is reddish brown with inconspicuous bands on the hind legs. The tympana (temples) are black. The underside is cream white, with the legs having a slightly warmer tone.
What it does
Rana culaiensis likely breeds from March to April. It is found at an elevation of 630–900 m (2,070–2,950 ft). The specimens were collected from a forest brook, which is likely their habitat. Seemingly, Rana culaiensis is solely distributed on Mt. Culai and nowhere else.
