The giant river frog (Limnonectes leporinus) is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is endemic to Borneo, and found in Brunei, Kalimantan (Indonesia), and Sabah and Sarawak (Malaysia). Giant river frogs inhabit the banks of small to large, rocky streams in hilly lowland rainforests.
The tadpoles develop in quiet side pools of streams. It is locally affected by deforestation and over-exploitation, but it is not considered threatened by the IUCN.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Giant River Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Kubah National Park (50 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.
