SEOUL FROG

The 'Seoul frog', '''Pelophylax chosenicus''' (formerly ''Rana chosenica''), is a species of true frog found on the western Korean Peninsula, and possibly in Liaoning. It is closely related to the Eastern golden frog, ''Pelophylax plancyi'', and was long considered a subspecies thereof.
Adult Seoul frogs are roughly 6 centimeters in length. The back is bright green and bumpy, with patches of light brown; the belly is yellowish-red. The iris of the eye is golden. The body as a whole is round as if swollen.
The Seoul frog is found in ponds and rice paddies, but has been declining sharply, probably due to habitat degradation. According to Matsui (2004), recent surveys have located populations in only four locations. The mating season is from mid-May to June.
