This small amphibian species is endemic to Khao Sok National Park in Surat Thani, Thailand. Rare and ecologically significant, it is found only in this unique region.
The Khao Sok Dwarf Frog is a tiny amphibian, measuring around 1.5–2 centimeters in length. It has a compact, stout body with a light brown or gray coloration, often patterned with dark spots or lines that provide excellent camouflage. This species thrives in humid environments, typically found in rainforests, near streams, or under leaf litter, where it remains well hidden during the day.
As a nocturnal species, the Khao Sok Dwarf Frog emerges at night to feed on small insects and invertebrates, taking advantage of the cooler temperatures and increased moisture.
Due to its limited distribution and sensitivity to environmental changes, preserving its natural habitat is essential. Visitors to Khao Sok National Park might spot this elusive frog while exploring damp, shaded areas along trails or near water sources.
This diminutive frog highlights the remarkable biodiversity of Khao Sok National Park and underscores the importance of conservation efforts in protecting such fragile ecosystems.
