Field Notes

Description:

Small green frog with splotchy marks and a distinctive croaking sound. Keeps body submerged in water but eyes above the water.

Habitat:

There is an eco resort near the River Shibai (Belun Village). It is a sprawling campus where there is minimal interference with nature. There are lots of natural ponds and artificial water bodies. I saw this little one in an artificial lily pond made out of a large terracotta pot...inserted into the ground.

Notes:

Please help with ID although I know the markings being underwater are not clearly visible.
