The Sierra Nevada yellow-legged frog[2] or Sierra Nevada Mountain yellow-legged frog (Rana sierrae) is a true frog endemic to the Sierra Nevada mountains (in California and Nevada). It was formerly considered Rana muscosa until a 2007 study elevated the more central and northern populations to full species status, restricting R. muscosa to the southern Sierra Nevada and southern California.[3]

Description

This species is very similar in appearance to the southern mountain yellow-legged frog, with which it was formerly identified.[2]

Conservation status

Shallow lakes that dry in summer endanger this high-elevation frog.[2] Predation by non-native trout also plays a large role in limiting breeding and tadpole development.[2] Many factors endangering the southern mountain yellow-legged frog also affect this species.
