About Lithobates warszewitschii (Schmidt, 1857)

Lithobates warszewitschii is a medium-sized frog species. Males reach 52 mm (2.0 in) and females reach 63 mm (2.5 in) in snout–vent length. This species has a pointed snout. Individuals have green patches of varying size on a golden brown background on their backs; their colouration darkens to brown along the sides. A dark area extends forward onto the face to form a "mask", and there is a distinct light lip line. The dorsolateral folds are lighter in colour, typically golden or yellow, and the feet are extensively webbed.

The natural habitats of Lithobates warszewitschii are humid lowland forests, montane forests, and gallery forests. It can be found near streams, but also occurs far from them, and is able to survive even in small forest patches. Some populations have experienced declines from chytridiomycosis, though they have since recovered. This species is also negatively impacted by habitat loss.
