Kassina cochranae

Kassina cochranae are medium-sized, sturdy frogs. The legs and arms are short. There are 35–77 large spots on flanks and dorsum. The belly is white to brown and sometimes has scattered, small punctuations (but never with large spots). There are zero to two occipital spots. Males typically have dark throat that sometimes has black spots.^[4]

Kassina cochranae is an arboreal, forest-dwelling species, including secondary forests. There are also records from moist and montane savanna as well as montane grassland. It seems to be able persist in habitat fragments and gallery forests. Reproduction is presumed to take place in temporary and permanent bodies of water, preferably large, well-vegetated pools, as with other Kassina species.^[1] The males call from branches of bushes and trees 2–4 metres above the ground. Although typically a forest species, they often call on more exposed sites at the edges of ponds or beside roads.^[4]

Kassina cochranae is locally abundant.^[3] It is locally threatened by habitat loss (severe deforestation).^[1]
