I assume this is the correct ID, but not sure. This frog species was very common today at the Lance Rosier unit of the Big Thicket Preserve.
Heard male calling after dusk. He was in medium density brush about 15m away from a pond. SVL-47mm
Found on bank of shallow creek. There were plenty of other frogs calling.
Observed several of these guys around a pond at Stengl Ranch Biological Research Station between 10:00pm and midnight. A few calls were heard over the course of the night. The weather was cold and windy, with light mist.
This frog was found during nighttime road cruising. Unfortunately, it had been run over already. It was still mostly intact.
Found in a pond.
The Southern Leopard Frog (Rana sphenocephala) is a species of mostly aquatic true frog, found in the south-eastern third of the United States. There are two accepted subspecies.
