FUSCOUS FROG Leptodactylus fuscus
The numerous species of Leptodactylus frogs are what could be termed "typical frogs", sharing essentially the same characteristics as you might expect in a stereotypical "frog". This is a common frog, his whistling call being characteristic of the species and heard widely. They are burrow dwellers, usually found hiding in tussocks of grass in areas prone to flooding.
