Pig Frog
Rana grylio


The pig frog is sometimes likened to a bullfrog, but has a more pointed and narrow head, and the webbing on the hind feet extends to the very tip of the longest toe. They are olive to blackish brown and sometimes have prominent dark spots. Like most of the ranids, the pig frog has a white venter. But small flecks of brown or black can be found in its groin area. The pig frog is highly aquatic and is usually found at the edges of lakes and marshes. Its pig-like grunt can be heard during the warm months of the year.
