Blyth's Giant Frog

This very large frog is a common inhabitant of lowland to upper-level rainforest. It is favoured among locals and aborigines as game meat, being known as 'Din Gai' in Chinese. The head is large with a pointed snout along with muscular hind legs. It can be found among leaf litter or perched on stones and wood along the banks of streams. The colour is variable, ranging from yellowish brown to drab grey. In juveniles, the back is usually lined with rows of small ridges, this is less pronounced in adults. In some specimens, a broad orange or yellow vertebral stripe may occur. This species is found in Southern Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia.
