Frogs of the Genus Rana in Tabin Wildlife Reserve
The most commonly seen frog in Tabin is the giant river frog, Rana leporina (formerly Rana blythi).

The frogs of Borneo are varied and many are colourful so seeking them out is worth the effort and the likelihood of adding species to the Tabin list is high.

Even if you do not see frogs you are almost sure to her their calls on any damp night.
