Ryukyu Tip-nosed Frog

Ryukyu Tip-nosed Frog (Odorrana narina) is a streamlined ranid also called the Okinawa Tip-nosed or Ryukyu Island Frog. Identification should combine body shape, skin texture, colour pattern, toe structure and locality because related frogs can be extremely similar. Claims are limited to the species accounts opened for this batch (Wikipedia, general species account). Field identification should remain cautious when diagnostic measurements or clear photographs are unavailable.

It is endemic to Okinawa and inhabits streams in primary or well-recovered broadleaf evergreen forest up to about 503 metres. Information absent from those species-level sources is omitted rather than borrowed from relatives. Japanese occurrence follows the site's catalogue and the opened distribution account, without using IUCN conservation material (Wikipedia, general species account; Wildlife of Japan occurrence records). This wording keeps gaps in the available species evidence explicit rather than concealing them.
