Rio Grande Leopard Frog vs. Crawfish Frog

Range maps: they meet in central Texas (a few shared squares of records). A: Scattered sharp dark spots on a pale greenish-tan back in the Rio Grande Leopard Frog; crowded dark spots, each ringed by a pale border, on a dark back in the Crawfish Frog. B: Slim, with long legs and a pointed snout in the Rio Grande Leopard Frog; stout and big-headed, like a toad in the Crawfish Frog. The Crawfish Frog lives in crayfish burrows in prairie and is seldom seen away from breeding ponds.
