A Rhinoceros Frog, but without a horn Adult males of this species have a weird bump on their foreheads that was the inspiration for the name. I don't know what the purpose of this bump is. This one has no bump, so is either a female or a young male. Geotagged,Limnonectes plicatellus,Malaysia,Winter Click/tap to enlarge Species introCountry intro
