At very high risk of extinction in the wild in the near future.
The Pyrenean frog is an anuran amphibian of the family Ranidae. The species was described in 1993, settling the controversy over the presence in the Pyrenees of Rana iberica, which it resembles morphologically. Recent genetic studies suggest that it may be more closely related phylogenetically to Rana temporaria than to R. iberica. It is an endemic amphibian, found almost exclusively in Spain, together with a few scattered localities in France along the border with Navarre, in the Irati Forest.
