Luzon narrow-mouthed frog

The Luzon narrow-mouthed frog, a captivating species from the Microhylidae family, is native to the Central Cordilleras and Sierra Madre mountains in northern Luzon, Philippines. Notably, the frogs found around Baguio City exhibit slight differences compared to those in other forested areas of the region.

These versatile frogs can inhabit a variety of environments. They flourish in subtropical or tropical dry forests, lowland and montane forests, shrublands, grasslands, rivers, and even in human-modified landscapes such as gardens, urban areas, irrigated lands, and flooded agricultural fields.

Despite their adaptability, Luzon narrow-mouthed frogs are facing threats, primarily due to habitat loss. As their natural habitats are increasingly encroached upon or destroyed, their populations are jeopardized. Conservation efforts are essential to ensure these unique frogs continue to thrive in their native habitats.
