The fanged river frog, Javan giant frog, Malaya wart frog, or stone creek frog (Limnonectes macrodon) is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae endemic to Sumatra and Java, Indonesia. Records from other regions are probably caused by misidentifying other species such as Limnonectes blythii as this species.
L. macrodon frogs live in forested areas near streams; they breed in streams. Their lowland forest habitat is declining in both the extent and quality, and this once common species is getting uncommon. It is widely collected for human consumption in Java, Indonesia, along with the crab-eating frog (Fejervarya cancrivora). Wikipedia →

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Fanged River Frog sighting in Jakarta on a given day, based on 51 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 8th most-seen of the 18 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February and November
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Fanged River Frog in Jakarta on a given day, against under 5% in April, the lowest month. Those are among Jakarta's wettest months, with about 300 mm of rain a month against 55 mm in August.
Yes
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Fanged River Frog sightings, Jakarta has the highest daily chance: about 30%. Next come Bandung (Indonesia, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Fanged River Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Jakarta (51 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
