About the Kerinci Cascade Frog
Sumaterana crassiovis is a species of true frog. It is endemic to Sumatra, Indonesia. It is also known as the Bander Baru frog, Korinchi frog, and Kerinci cascade frog. Sumaterana crassiovis lives in primary submontane and montane rainforest along streams above 700 m (2,300 ft); it is especially common at around 1,000 m (3,300 ft) above sea level. It can occur in slightly disturbed forest habitats and agroforestry areas. The tadpoles use their ventral suckers to cling on rocks in fast-moving streams. Wikipedia →
