Mexican White-lipped Frog
''Leptodactylus fragilis'', known under many common names such as the Mexican white-lipped frog, American white-lipped frog or simply white-lipped frog, is a species of leptodactylid frog. Its distribution ranges from the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas in the United States south through Mexico and Central America to Colombia and Venezuela. It is often—wrongly—referred to as ''Leptodactylus labialis'' (Cope, 1878) (or ''Leptodactylus mystaceus labialis'' Shreve, 1957), which is a junior synonym of '' Leptodactylus mystacinus''. Description Mexican white-lipped frogs are grey-brown in color with brown or black mottling. They have a distinctive white stripe along their upper lip which gives them their name. They grow to in length. Habitat Mexican white-lipped frog is a widespread and common species found in a range of habitats, in savanna, grassland, semi-arid lands, and open habitats in humid and dry, lowland and montane tropical forests.

Leptodactylus Discodactylus
''Leptodactylus discodactylus'' (common name: Vanzolini's Amazon frog) is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is found in the Amazonian Bolivia, Brazil ( Amazonas and Acre states), Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia. Description ''Leptodactylus discodactylus'' is a medium-sized, moderately robust-bodied frog. Males measure and females in snout–vent length. The colouration is reddish brown, with paler flanks. The dorsum is smooth with some small tubercles. The fingers may or may not have disks, whereas the toes end in slightly expanded and rounded disks. The species shows local-scale variation in colour pattern, morphology, and advertisement call. Habitat and conservation ''Leptodactylus discodactylus'' is a reasonably common and generally widespread species active by day and night. It can be found on the forest floor and in swampy areas in the forest, seasonally flooded forests, and open areas. The eggs are laid close to water where the tadpoles develop. ''Leptoda ...

Leptodactylus Spixi
''Leptodactylus spixi'' is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is endemic to eastern Brazil and occurs in the Atlantic forests of the Bahia, Espírito Santo, and Rio de Janeiro states. The specific name ''spixi'' honors Johann Baptist von Spix, a German naturalist who worked in Brazil. Prior to its description, this species had been referred to as ''Leptodactylus mystaceus'' (Spix, 1824). Common name Spix's white-lipped frog has been coined for this species. Description Adult males measure and adult females in snout–vent length; sexual size dimorphism is not significant in this species. The snout is subelliptical from above and rounded with protruding ridge in lateral profile. The tympanum is large and distinct, as is the supratympanic fold. The dorsum is smooth but has a pair of well-developed dorsolateral folds from behind eye to hind leg. The dorsum has irregular darker brown markings on lighter brown background. The markings include an irregular interorb ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Giant Ditch Frog
''Leptodactylus fallax'', commonly known as the mountain chicken or giant ditch frog, is a critically endangered species of frog that is native to the Caribbean islands of Dominica and Montserrat. The population declined by at least 80% from 1995 to 2004, with further significant declines later. A tiny wild population remains on Dominica where there are efforts to preserve it, but few or none survive in the wild on Montserrat and its survival now relies on a captive breeding project involving several zoos. The initial decline was linked to hunting for human consumption, along with habitat loss and natural disasters, but the most serious threat now appears to be the fungal disease chytridiomycosis, which was the primary cause of the most recent rapid decline. On Montserrat it is known as the mountain chicken, while on Dominica it is known as the crapaud. Etymology The mountain chicken is nicknamed such after being preyed upon as a local delicacy on the islands of Montserrat and D ...

''Leptodactylus chaquensis'' is a species of frogs in the family Leptodactylidae. It is found in northern Argentina and adjacent eastern Bolivia, Paraguay, northern Uruguay, and southern and western Brazil.
