There are about 6780 species of amphibians in the World (Frost, 2011). Approximately 314 species are known to occur in India and about 154 from Western Ghats (Dinesh et al, 2009; Biju, 2010). However the precise number of species is not known since new frogs are being added to the checklist. Amphibian number has slowly started dedining largely due to the anthropogenic activities. Habitat degradation and improper agricultural activities are the major threats to amphibians.
