Rana sierrae (Sierra Nevada Yellow-legged Frog)

Synonyms: Rana boylii sierrae

Wikipedia Abstract

The Sierra Nevada yellow-legged frog or Sierra Nevada Mountain yellow-legged frog (Rana sierrae) is a true frog endemic to the Sierra Nevada mountains (in California and Nevada). It was formerly considered Rana muscosa until a 2007 study elevated the more central and northern populations to full species status, restricting R. muscosa to the southern Sierra Nevada and southern California.
