Dead Frog - Lithobates sp. I&#039;m not sure of the species ID. I found this frog as it is shown in the photo -- dead and dried up and resting on a walkway. It didn&#039;t look like it had been attacked, so I&#039;m not sure why it died. Why would it crawl up on the wood and just randomly die? It was so dry that the skin was like leather.<br /> <br /> Habitat: Mesic forest/wetland Geotagged,Spring,United States,frog,lithobates Click/tap to enlarge

Dead Frog - Lithobates sp.

I'm not sure of the species ID. I found this frog as it is shown in the photo -- dead and dried up and resting on a walkway. It didn't look like it had been attacked, so I'm not sure why it died. Why would it crawl up on the wood and just randomly die? It was so dry that the skin was like leather.

      Ohhh, could be. Poor thing. The sides didn't seem gaping, though...Caleb stepped on a frog once and the guts exploded out its sides. But, perhaps someone stepped on this one just enough to kill it, but not explode it. Posted 2 years ago
