The Indian painted frog, which is fewer in number due to availability of food and water, has been seen in Aamrai region in Sangli, Maharashtra. This amphibian needs a suitable dry place with sufficient water which they don't get in summer due to high temperatures and in the monsoon, too much rain is also not suitable for them. This is the reason Indian painted frogs are rare.
A team of zoologists from the western region of Maharashtra found this beautiful rare Indian painted frog. The team includes HOD of zoology at MLA Shashikant Shinde College Satara Dr. Omkar Yadav, Dr. Amrut Bhosale from Gadge Maharaj college, Karad, Dr. Prakash Sajjan from Raje Ramrao College Sangli and a student from Vasantrao Patil College, Tasgaon, Chaitali Gavali.
The research paper submitted by the team was published in a magazine named reptile and amphibian research, University of Kansas, USA.
In the last 3-4 years, this rare Indian Painted frog has been seen thrice in Maharashtra.
