WHISTLING STRIPED THIN-TOED FROG Leptodactylus gracilis
Another hole-dwelling Leptodactylid, this species is distinctive on account of the white stripes that run longitudinally along the dorsal surface and down the legs. This species builds foam nests within its burrow and is typical in low-lying wet areas.
