Blanford's Nano Rana is a medium-sized frog that lives in cold mountain streams and rivers at high altitudes in the Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau.
Blanford's Nano Rana is distinguished by its ability to live in very cold water at high altitudes, where other frogs do not survive. It is important for nature because it eats insects and serves as food for highland birds and snakes.
