Odorrana andersonii (common names: golden cross band frog, Yunnan odorous frog, Anderson's frog) is a species of frog in the family Ranidae that is found in northeastern India, upper Myanmar, southwestern China (Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi), northern Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam; records from Laos and Vietnam may refer to another species.[2] They are found in low tree branches and on rocks along shaded rocky streams and large rivers with boulders, in evergreen forests and agricultural areas. Breeds takes place in streams.[1]
Odorrana andersonii are relatively large frogs: males grow to a snout–vent length of about 74 mm (2.9 in) and females to 97 mm (3.8 in). Tadpoles are up to 50 mm (2.0 in) in length.[3]
Odorrana andersonii is considered as being of "Least Concern" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), although over-exploitation for food and habitat change are threats to this species.[1]
