    Abstract:

    Leishan Moustache Toad (Vibrissaphora leishanensis) is a special species that mainly inhabits nearby creeks at 800﹣2 100 m above sea level with the intact nature vegetation. They spend most of their time in the habitat near creeks, dark and highly humidity. In generally, Leishan Moustache Toad finish their matings and eggings by the end of November. Commonly, their mating behavior is easily observed in the afternoon and at night. They lay eggs in cluster style and the males provide guarding in the nests with eggs. No any hibernation and estivation behaviors were detected in the study area, or the hibernation and estivation would be very short if they did have such behavior. It will take 3 years for their tadpoles developing to the stage of froglets.
