Lithobates brownorum, commonly known as Browns' leopard frog, is a species of frog native to southern Veracruz and northeastern Oaxaca east through the Yucatan Peninsula and the uplands of Chiapas in southern Mexico through Guatemala and Honduras to Nicaragua. Its separateness from Lithobates berlandieri has been questioned but molecular data now supports the conclusion that it is a separate species. Wikipedia →

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Browns' Frog sighting in Cusuco National Park on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 4th most-seen of the 12 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.
April
In that month about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Browns' Frog in Cusuco National Park on a given day, against under 5% in July, the lowest month. That is one of Cusuco National Park's driest months, with about 80 mm of rain against 420 mm in November. March and November–January have too few records to rate.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Browns' Frog sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Among the best
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Browns' Frog sightings, Cusuco National Park ranks 2nd at about 30%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Pico Bonito National Park (Honduras, about 30%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Browns' Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Cusuco National Park (6 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
