The smoky jungle frog, Central American bullfrog, Savage's thin-toed frog, rana toro, or rana ternero (Leptodactylus savagei) is a frog. It lives in Colombia, Costa Rica, Honduras, Panama, and Nicaragua.[2][3][1][4]
Other animals
Scientists believe that small insects that want to bite the frog and drink its blood find it by listening to its call.[3]
Home
Scientists saw the frog in many places, for example forests that have never been cut down and forests that are growing back. Scientists saw the frog between 0 and 1200 meters above sea level.[2][1]
Scientists believe the frog also lives inside protected places.[1]
Young
The male frog sits near water and calls to the female frogs. The tadpoles are big. They swim in streams, ponds, swamps, and people see them in nests made out of bubbles and in holes that the frogs dig.[1]
Danger
Scientists from the IUCN say this frog is least concern of dying out.[1]
