Southern Leopard Frog
Rana sphenocephala


The southern leopard frog can be found in a variety of colors and spot patterns. Its dorsal coloration can be green, brown, or combinations of both. It can have a variety of dark spot patterns or none at all. Prominent ridges can also be seen on its lower back. The southern leopard frog will sometimes venture far away from its normal wetland habitats in the summer and find shade under grasses or small shrubs. In many areas of the South it breeds all year round.
