OCELLATED FROG Leptodactylus ocellatus
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 large and common species which is often confused with the Chaco Frog (despite the latters name it also occurs in the Orient and often in the same areas as this species!). Note however the better defined dorsal spots of this species and the larger size.
