Description
Adult males measure Script error: No such module "convert". and adult females Script error: No such module "convert". in snout–vent length,[3] although Jiang and colleagues report a much lower range for males, Script error: No such module "convert"..[4] The head is broad and depressed. The tympanum is small and hidden under skin. The toes are partially webbed.[3] Males have nuptial spines on the first and second fingers, as well as two well-developed chest glands covered by strong spines.[5] No vocal sac is present.[4]
The tadpoles are adapted to running water and have elongated, dorso-ventrally flattened bodies and long tails. They grow to a total length of Script error: No such module "convert"., of which the body makes about one third.[5]
Habitat and conservation
Scutiger mammatus lives in small to medium-sized low-gradient streams, seepages, and spring-fed marshes in sub-alpine and alpine areas at elevations of Script error: No such module "convert". above sea level. It is a very common species. Threats to it are unknown, but overgrazing is a potential threat. There are many protected areas within its range.[1]
