Nanorana blanfordii (common names: Blanford's paa frog, Blanford's frog, Blanford's spiny frog) is a species of frog in the Dicroglossidae family. It is found in Tibet (China), northeastern India, and eastern Nepal, and possibly Bhutan.[2] Its natural habitats are small streams and the surrounding grasslands and temperate forests.[1]
Nanorana blanfordii are medium-sized frogs, though relatively small among their closest relatives: males grow to a snout–vent length of about 43 mm (1.7 in) and females to 49 mm (1.9 in). Tadpoles are up to 52 mm (2.0 in) in length.[3]
