Kaloula latidisca, also known as wide-disked narrow-mouthed frog, wide-disked painted frog, wide-disked bullfrog, Malaya painted bullfrog, Malayan painted bullfrog, and Malay painted sticky frog, is a species of frogs in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to the Malay Peninsula and occurs in southern Myanmar, Peninsular Thailand, and (northern) Peninsular Malaysia. The specific name latidisca refers to the comparatively wide finger discs of this frog. Kaloula latidisca is most similar to Kaloula baleata and Kaloula indochinensis.
Adult males measure 49–56 mm (1.9–2.2 in) in snout–vent length. An immature female measured 42 mm (1.7 in) SVL. The overall appearance is robust. The head is wider than it is long. The eyes are large. The tympanum is covered by skin and not visible. The supratympanic fold is present. The finger tips are expanded into large, transversely expanded discs, whereas the toe discs are small and rounded. The fingers have no webbing whereas the toes are partially webbed. The dorsal colouration is gray-brown. There is a pale interorbital bar. Symmetrical, broad, wavy stripes start from the posterior edge of upper eyelid and extend dorsolaterally... Wikipedia →

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Wide-Disked Narrow-Mouthed Frog sighting in Khao Sok National Park on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 12th most-seen of the 21 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Wide-Disked Narrow-Mouthed Frog in Khao Sok National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March–April, July and September, the lowest months. That is one of Khao Sok National Park's wettest months, with about 280 mm of rain against 35 mm in February.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Wide-Disked Narrow-Mouthed Frog sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Khao Sok National Park, in our data
Khao Sok National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Wide-Disked Narrow-Mouthed Frog sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Wide-Disked Narrow-Mouthed Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Khao Sok National Park (15 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.
