Cascade frogs
They are named so because of their preference for small waterfalls or cascades in flowing hill streams.
They have certain morphological features such as expanded digit tips and extensive foot webbing that makes them adapt to strong water currents.
Many frogs in this region are reported to occur widely but have relatively small geographical ranges and require special attention for conservation before they go extinct forever
