Description
Staurois natator (Black-spotted Rock Frog) is a small, slender frog. Its common name was given according to its body pattern. This frog is a species of primary forest in hilly country, living along small rocky streams where it is found in Philippine (islands of Mindanao, Leyte and Samar). It has also been reported from other Philippine islands and Borneo, but these populations are now considered as separate species (S. guttatus and S. nubilus) (Arifin et al., 2011).
The Black-spotted Rock Frog has a pointed snout, narrow body, and long, slender hind limbs. Its back skin is distinctly pebbled and set with small round, uniformly sized swellings. The belly is coarsely granular. The upper surfaces are olive green, with the large black spots while the underside is bright yellowish-green or lemon yellow (Inger and Stuebing, 2005).
