This is a frog better known by its other common name, the sheep frog, which is spot-on accurate. Its call sounds exactly like the bleating of a sheep, and it is loud! After it rained, we would have three or four species of frogs calling in the puddles right behind our house. This chorus of regular frog sounds was intermittently interrupted by a massive MAAAAAAH, which was hilarious, but made falling asleep kind of hard! Posted 7 years ago
