Abstract

Through the Visual Encounter Survey only one species of green frog (Euphlyctis hexadactylus) was encountered. As we lack previous data we cannot comment on the decline of the species. Frogs, known for specific habitats, are under threats if such habitats are lost. The physico-chemical parameters estimated along with the anuran survey reported that the quality of the lake is not congenial to support the tadpoles of the frogs. The adults can move away from water and survive on land. The habitat, as well as the surrounding wetland, plays a vital role to support a good quantum of anurans.
