Zakerana brevipalmata (common names: short-webbed frog, Peters' frog, and Pegu wart frog) is a species of frog found in the Western Ghats in southern India (Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala states).[2] Zakerana brevipalmata is a little-known and uncommon grassland frog associated with waterlogged or marshy areas, but it has also been recorded from suitable wet patches of forest and lightly degraded former forest.[1]
