The Samkos bush frog (Feihyla samkosensis) is a moss frog found in Cambodia in the Cardamom Mountains. It was first described in 2007.[3][2][4]

Description

The Samkos bush frog is relatively small, around 25 mm (0.98 in) in snout-to-vent length.[5] It has a smooth body and translucent skin; its blood is externally visible. It has green-colored blood and turquoise-hued bones, a result of a pigment in waste products, biliverdin.[6]

Distribution

The species is found in the jungle terrain of the Cardamom Mountains in southwestern Cambodia.[5] It was found in Pursat Province in the Phnom Samkos area at 500 metres (1,600 ft) above sea level.

Conservation status

F. samkosensis is listed as "vulnerable" by the IUCN.[1] Human expansion threatens the species, notably via a new, wide, graded road through the middle of the type locality.[1]
