The Puebla frog [2] or Pueblan pool frog [3] (Lithobates pueblae) is a species of frog in the family Ranidae endemic to Necaxa River near Huauchinango, Puebla state, Mexico, [2] where it is known as rana poblana. [1] It was thought to probably be extinct [1] until 2010 when Dr. Georg Hantke from the National Museum of Scotland re-discovered it. [3]
Natural habitats of the Puebla frog are pine and pine-oak forests near permanent river systems, its breeding habitat. It is threatened by loss of its river habitat, damming of Necaxa River being an important contributor. [1]
