Odorrana wuchuanensis, also known as the Wuchuan odorous frog or Wuchuan frog, is a species of frog in the family Ranidae.[2][1] It is endemic to southern–central China: Guizhou, Guanxi, and Hubei provinces.[1] For a long time, it was only known from a single limestone cave in Baicun, Wuchuan. Adults live in limestone caves in karst areas, often on cliffs inside caves, near ponds. Tadpoles can be found also outside cases.[1]
