Amphibians of the Eastern Ghats

Eastern Ghats mountain ranges are a series of discontinuous low hill ranges along the Bay of Bengal coast running from the Khondamal hills of Odhisa in the north upto the Sirumalai and Karanthamalai hills of Tamil Nadu in the south and forms the eastern edge of the Deccan plateau. The Eastern Ghats mountain ranges cover the States of Odhisa, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. The Eastern Ghats are eroded and cut through by the four major rivers of southern India viz., Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna and Kaveri which cut the Eastern Ghats into various discontinuous hills. The Eastern Ghats are separated from the Bay of Bengal by the coastal plains.
