Profile
Scientific name:	Rana swinhoana
Common names:	Sharp-nosed brown frog, brown-backed brown frog

Features:	Swinhoe's brown frog is a medium- to large-sized species with a flat and slender body. Females are much bigger than males and can reach lengths of up to 7-8cm. The color of their backs varies greatly, and though they are usually green, they are occasionally brown or have black markings. Their sides are beige or nut-brown, their canthi are black, their upper lips are white, and their tympana are a pronounced black or brown.
Behavior:	Swinhoe's brown frogs inhabit broad-leaved forests near mountain streams, valleys, or small waterfalls. They usually hide in cracks between stones during the day making bird-like calls of "chiu-," and when night falls, they continue to hide under stones in the middle of streams.
Habitat:	Swinhoe's brown frogs are widely spread throughout Taiwan's small mountain streams at altitudes of up to 2000m.
