Southern Leopard Frog vs. Northern Leopard Frog
The eardrum decides it: a pale spot in its centre means Southern, a plain eardrum means Northern. The spots on the back confirm it — ringed with pale borders on the Northern, plain-edged and fewer on the Southern — and the Southern’s snout is more pointed.
