Hylarana elberti is a medium-sized frog from the family of true frogs. It lives in tropical forests on the Lesser Sunda Islands in Indonesia and stays near streams and water bodies.
Hylarana elberti differs from related frogs by its special pattern on the back and voice. It is important for nature because it eats many insects and serves as food for snakes and birds.
