Species of amphibian
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ansonia kraensis (Kra stream toad) is a species of toads in the family Bufonidae. It is found on the Kra Isthmus, Thailand.[3][4] It is morphologically similar to Ansonia malayana from Malaysia, but differs from it in ventral coloration and larval morphology.[2] The exact threats are unknown but are likely forest loss for logging and agricultural expansion.
