Rough Sided Frog

The rough sided frog occupies swampy habitats in primary and secondary forest from lowland to mid-level elevations, including disturbed areas. The body is brown with dark blotches across the back and flanks. The dorsum has a slightly rough texture while the hind legs are barred. This species can be identified by its large reddish brown eyes and dark brown tympanum with a light coloured spot in the center. The belly is pale with drab dark spots while lips are banded in dark brown and white. It is also called 'Water Dog' because of its call that resembles a dog's bark. In Southeast Asia, the rough sided frog occurs in Southern Thailand, Malaysia, Borneo and Indonesia.
