Wikipedia Abstract

The island leopard frog or Little Corn Island frog (Lithobates miadis, also commonly known as Rana miadis) is a species of frog in the Ranidae family, endemic to Little Corn Island off the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua. It is locally known as rana leopardo isleña. This species inhabits the tropical lowland rainforests of Little Corn Island. It is expected that the expanding tourist industry would lead to habitat loss to this species.
