Grande Leopard Frog Laguna Atascosa, Cameron Co., Texas.

Tough to spot
and even tougher to photograph, these frogs were very common around the
freshwater 'Alligator Pond' out near Laguna Atascosa along the south Texas
coast. The Alligator Pond has been dried up for the past couple of
years; I wonder if any of the frogs have managed to move to other water
sources. They are found thru much of Texas and have adapted to life
in arid lands.
The berlandieri pictured was found hopping across the road near the Devil's River in Val Verde County, Texas. Much like the Plains Leopard Frog, the dorsolateral fold is broken and inset medially near the back legs.
