Frogs

Missouri's Toads and Frogs
Missouri toads and frogs are colorful, harmless, vocal and valuable. Our forests, prairies, rivers, swamps and marshes are home to a multitude of toads and frogs, but few people know how many varieties we have, how to tell them apart, or much about their natural history.
Westward Frog
While there is no established cause of amphibian decline, there are many factors known to be potentially detrimental. Here we provide bibliographies for those interested in learning more about these factors. When possible, technical and/or literature reviews are also included.
Northern Leopard Frog
A description of the leopard frog [Rana pipiens].
In the 1980s, Alberta's leopard frog population plunged so badly that the government of Alberta even put out a "wanted poster," displaying a photo of the frog with the words "Have You Seen This Frog?"

Undoubtedly you've heard, as I have, that worldwide, frogs are in trouble. Still, it surprised me to learn that the Northern Leopard Frog is more than in trouble in Alberta. After all, don't we Albertans live in one of the great undeveloped regions of the world?
Hop to It
