Description wikipedia

The kani bushfrog or kani brown-eared shrub frog (Pseudophilautus kani) is a small shrub frog species of the genus Pseudophilautus. It is endemic to India, where it has been observed in the Western Ghat mountains and Tamil mountains. The Kani bushfrog has a unique brownish coloration with a distinctive dark patch near its ear, aiding in its camouflage ( Moving or acting in a way that avoids detection ) within forest habitats. The Kani bushfrog is named after the Kani tribal community of Kerala, which played a key role in its discovery.
