Rana (genus)

Rana is a genus that includes many species of frogs, commonly known as true frogs. These amphibians typically have smooth, moist skin, long legs for jumping, and webbed feet for swimming. They are found worldwide in a variety of habitats, from forests to wetlands. Rana frogs play important roles in ecosystems as predators of insects and other small animals, and as prey for larger animals. They are also key indicators of environmental health, as their sensitive skin can absorb pollutants. Overall, Rana species are vital components of many ecosystems, contributing to biodiversity and ecological balance.
