Species of amphibian
The Puebla frog[2] or Pueblan pool frog[3] (Lithobates pueblae) is a species of frog in the family Ranidae endemic to Necaxa River near Huauchinango, Puebla state, Mexico,[2] where it is known as rana poblana.[1] It was thought to probably be extinct[1] until 2010 when Dr. Georg Hantke from the National Museum of Scotland re-discovered it.[3]
Natural habitats of the Puebla frog are pine and pine-oak forests near permanent river systems, its breeding habitat. It is threatened by loss of its river habitat, damming of Necaxa River being an important contributor.[1]
