Lithobates vaillanti
—
Rainforest Frog
Also known as:
Vaillant’s Frog
The genus Lithobates was split from Rana by Frost et al in 2006. This has been a controversial change ever since, and many authorities continue to use Rana.
My sister and I saw many of these standard-looking frogs at a pond's edge late in the afternoon, and then again at night later on.
