- This species is a skinny frog found in forests. Generally, the body is a brownish-red, but some can be more red or gray. This species makes noise like birds tweeting. It used to be considered the same species as Brown Frog found in Amami and Tokunoshima Islands, but a recent study found the Ryukyu Brown Frog is different from other frogs. Brown Frog found in the Amami area was named Amami Brown Frog.
