Sanguirana luzonensis

Sanguirana luzonensis, also known as the Luzon frog, is a species of true frog, family Ranidae. It is endemic to the island of Luzon (including some associated islands), the Philippines.[1][2] It occurs in swift-flowing, cool mountain streams and rivers in montane rainforest at elevations up to 2,000 m (6,600 ft). It is very common in many habitats, although it is suspected to be declining because of habitat loss and deterioration.[1]
