Walkerana muduga, the Muduga mountain leaping frog, is endemic to the Western Ghats and known from the Elivai Malai range north of the Palghat Gap in Tamil Nadu. Two males measured 23 and 29 mm in snout-vent length, while one adult female was much larger at 45 mm (Wikipedia, general species account).
The snout is bluntly pointed. The fingers have no webbing and the toes reduced webbing. The back is light fleshy brown, the bases of the raised folds are dark brown, and there are light brown blotches between the eyes. The tadpoles move across wet rocks and moss using their tails and back legs, which grow in earlier than in other species (Wikipedia, general species account).
