The species was initially thought to live within three km 2 on the Anamudi summit within the Eravikulam National Park, India [2] but researchers found another site about 20 km away within the same national park. [3] [5] This frog has been observed between 1896 and 2695 meters above sea level, largely in grassland habitats. [3] [6]
Ranoidea myola is similar to the green-eyed tree frog. It is a medium-sized stream and tropical forest frog. There is sexual dimorphism displayed between sexes; males are smaller than the females. This species is generally a mottled pattern of tan and brown on the body and a whitish cream color on the ventral surface but variations occur.

The distribution of 2,873 globally threatened amphibian species. [2]In the past three decades, declines in populations of amphibians (the class of organisms that includes frogs, toads, salamanders, newts, and caecilians) have occurred worldwide.
The Suweon tree frog is listed as an "Endangered category I species" in Korea on basis of its limited distribution range and small population size. [13] Besides, it is known to display high prevalence of Chytrid Fungus. [14] However, this frog has also been listed as an invasive species in the United States. [15]
These frogs (if one includes the two very closely related species, as discussed above) are the most common frogs on the West Coast of North America. Although Pacific tree frogs remain abundant, some other species found in the same areas, such as California red-legged frogs, are declining. Most populations of tree frogs appear healthy, and they ...
