Limnonectes macrodon (Malayan giant bullfrog)

Synonyms: Euphlyctis macrodon; Rana macrodon; Rana macrodon macrodon

Wikipedia Abstract

The fanged river frog, Javan giant frog, Malaya wart frog, or stone creek frog (Limnonectes macrodon) is a species of frog in the Dicroglossidae family endemic to Sumatra and Java, Indonesia. Records from other regions are probably caused by misidentifying other species such as Limnonectes blythii as this species. L. macrodon frogs live in forested areas near streams; they breed in streams. Their lowland forest habitat is declining in both the extent and quality, and this once common species is getting uncommon.
