The Amami tip-nosed frog, Odorrana amamiensis, is a species of frog in the Ranidae family that is endemic to the Amami Islands, a part of the Ryukyu Islands, Japan.[2] It inhabits streams surrounded by broad-leaved evergreen forests. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by logging and the construction of roads. Also alteration of rivers, pollution from pesticides, and predation by invasive mongooses are threats.[1]
