Pelophylax terentievi, commonly known as Terentjev's frog or Central Asian pond frog, is a species of frog in the family Ranidae. It is found in Xinjiang, China and Tajikistan,[2] and possibly in Afghanistan.[1]
Its natural habitats are swamps and hot deserts. Its status is insufficiently known.[1]
Description
Pelophylax terentievi have complex layers of tubular bones where dark rings are present. Dark rings are due to growth stunts during periods of inadequate nutrition or hibernation.[3]
