This past weekend out at Wild Basin, this frog was spotted as it was exploring Bee Creek. After googling its description, I’ve identified it as a Plains Leopard Frog, or Lithobates blairi. The Plains Leopard Frog is a frog common to central Texas, and named after a zoologist from the University of Texas, Dr. Frank Blair. More on the Plains Leopard Frog can be found here.
I like to see amphibians move across both water and land in native areas, because frogs are a common bioindicator for ecosystems. This capability as a bioindicator is characterized by the permeability of their skin, which makes them susceptible to changes in both terrestrial and aquatic environments.
