Nanorana ventripunctata (common names: Yunnan slow frog, spot-bellied plateau frog) is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae.[2][3] It is endemic to northwestern Yunnan, China. It inhabits lakes, pools and ponds in alpine areas, occurring near streams and rivers in open, high-elevation habitats. It breeds in still-water pools and ponds.[1]
Nanorana ventripunctata are medium-sized frogs: males grow to a snout–vent length of about 44 mm (1.7 in) and females to 49 mm (1.9 in). Tadpoles are up to about 48 mm (1.9 in) in length.[4]
