Leptodactylus latrans

Leptodactylus latrans is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae.[1] It is native to much of South America east of the Andes, and Trinidad and Tobago.[2] It has many common names, including rana criolla, sapo-rana llanero,[2] butter frog, and lesser foam frog.[3]
This is a common species in many parts of its range. It can be found in a variety of habitat types, including swamps, savannah, grasslands, and tropical forest ecosystems.[2] It tolerates disturbed habitat and can be seen in gardens and urban areas.[2] It breeds in temporary water bodies, such as ponds and floodplains, where it creates a foam nest for its eggs.[2]
This taxon is considered to be a species complex, or a component of one, and taxonomic studies may distinguish several different species among its populations.[4]
