Frog species from Africa (Part 4): is this The Big-eyed Tree Frog (Leptopelis vermiculatus), or one of the other similar 48 species from genus Leptopelis? - dorincard/maxicard from Venda






Can YOU identify this species?

"Leptopelis genus of frogs found throughout Africa. They are medium sized, semi-arboreal frogs, with distinctively large eyes. They vary greatly in color and patterning, but as juveniles tend to be bright green in color, and as they age they turn to a brown. There are 49 species currently recognized, but most are not well understood and their taxonomic status can vary greatly by source. They have a number of common names, including forest tree frogsleaf frogs and big-eyed frogs."
