The Chinese edible frog (Hoplobatrachus chinensis), also known as East Asian bullfrog and Taiwanese frog, is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is found in Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, Laos, Macau, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. Its natural habitats are freshwater marshes, intermittent freshwater marshes, arable land, pasture land, rural gardens, urban areas, ponds, aquaculture ponds, open excavations, irrigated land, seasonally flooded agricultural land, and canals and ditches.[1] They breed in spring to early summer.[2]
The domesticated Thai variety and wild Chinese populations of H. chinensis belong to two separate genetic lineages respectively.[3] Yu et al. (2015) suggest that H. chinensis may in fact be a cryptic species complex.[3]
