Ferguson's shrub frog (Pseudophilautus fergusonianus) is a frog. It lives in Sri Lanka. Scientists have seen it between 300 and 700 meters above sea level.[2][3][1]
The adult male frog is about 32.9 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 36.7 – 42.9 mm long. This frog has webbed skin on the back feet. The skin of the frog's head, sides, and back is brown with darker brown marks and white marks.[3]
Scientists used to think that Pseudophilautus hallidayi and Pseudophilautus fergusonianus were two different frogs, but now they think they are both the same frog and call them all Pseudophilautus fergusonianus.[3]
