This is a large frog. There are dark spots on the sides of the body.[3]
Scientists thought this was the same species as Chriomantis petersii, but they changed their minds.[1]
Scientists believe this frog is not in danger of dying out because it lives in a large place.[1] The frog might be in some danger from humans building towns and cities and making places for animals to eat grass.[3]
