Lithobates, commonly known as the bullfrogs, is a genus of true frogs, of the family Ranidae. [1] The name is derived from litho-(stone) and the Greek bates (βάτης, one that treads), meaning one that treads on rock, or rock climber.
When feasible, this species utilizes caves for thermal refugia during the coldest months of the year. [8] The pickerel frog is a trogloxene species, meaning they occur in caves, but are unable to complete their life cycles there. Though they are most abundant in caves during the winter, they are active deep within caves at almost any time of year.

New species are still being discovered: Indirana salelkari was discovered in the Netravali Wildlife Sanctuary in the Indian state of Goa and described in late July 2015. [11] The following species are recognised in the genus Indirana: [3] Indirana beddomii (Günther, 1876) Indirana bhadrai Garg and Biju, 2016; Indirana brachytarsus (Günther, 1876)
The wood frog has a complex lifecycle that depends on multiple habitats, damp lowlands, and adjacent woodlands. Their habitat conservation is, therefore, complex, requiring integrated, landscape-scale preservation. [1] Wood frog development in the tadpole stage is known to be negatively affected by road salt contaminating freshwater ecosystems ...
Indirana gundia are small in size, with a total length of 23–38 mm (0.91–1.50 in). The dorsum is variable in colour, ranging from brown to yellowish, via golden, cream, pinkish and reddish hues, probably providing good camouflage against the background of decaying leaves on the forest floor.
