Walkerana is a group of frogs in the family Ranixalidae.^[1][2] These frogs live in the Western Ghat mountains in the states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu, India.^[2] Scientists made this group in 2016 for three species that had been in Indirana because these frogs' bodies and DNA were so different from the frogs in Indirana that they needed a different group.^[1] Walkerana muduga had the first science paper written about it in 2020. These frogs live only in the very most south part of the Western Ghats, south of the Palghat Gap.^[3]
