Torrent frogs are a number of unrelated frogs that prefer to inhabit small rapid-flowing mountain or hill streams with a lot of torrents. They are generally smallish neobatrachians with a greyish-brown and usually darkly mottled back, giving them excellent camouflage among wet rocks overgrown with algae; their well-developed feet make them agile climbers of slippery rocks. Torrent frogs belong to the following taxa: * The "torrent frogs" of Asia are certain species in the genera ''Amolops'', ''Huia'', ''Micrixalus'', ''Nanorana'' and ''Odorrana'' of the true frog family (Ranidae) * The "torrent frogs" of Africa are the genus ''Arthroleptides'', ''Odontobatrachus,'' and ''Petropedetes'' (families Petropedetidae & Odontobatrachidae) * The "torrent frogs" of Australia are the genus ''Taudactylus'' of the Australian ground frog family (Myobatrachidae). * The torrent treefrog (''Litoria nannotis'') of Australia is in the tree frog family (Hylidae) Image:Huia masonii 060615 jbti.jpg|Javan torrent frog ''Huia masonii'' Ranidae Indonesia Image:Micrixalus.jpg|Black torrent frog ''Micrixalus saxicola'' Ranidae India Image:Taudactylus eungellensis.png|Eungella torrent frog ''Taudactylus eungellensis'' Myobatrachidae Australia Image:Litoria nannotis.jpg|Torrent treefrog ''Litoria nannotis'' Hylidae Australia ==See also== * Grass frog (disambiguation) * Green frog (disambiguation) * Rocket frog (disambiguation) * Tree frog * Torrent salamander 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Torrent frog」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
