Article Draft[edit]
Lead The Sierra Nevada yellow-legged frog is one of the two mountain yellow-legged frog species.[1] The two species are Rana muscosa and Rana sierrae. The Sierra Nevada yellow-legged frog (Rana sierrae) is very similar in appearance to the southern mountain yellow-legged frog (Rana muscosa), with which it was formerly identified. This species of frog is considered to be aquatic and is found within close proximity to water usually within a few meters. The frogs appear either yellow or brown and have both brown and black spots. The belly of the frogs is more noticeably yellow and can also appear orange. Tadpoles of this species appear black or brown and take between one to four years to fully develop.[1]
