Limnonectes is a genus of fork-tongued frogs of 91 known species, but new ones are still being described occasionally. They are collectively known as fanged frogs because they tend to have unusually large teeth, which are small or absent in other frogs.
These frogs are found throughout East and Southeast Asia, most commonly near forest streams. Multiple species of Limnonectes may occupy the same area in harmony. Large-bodied species cluster around fast rivers, while smaller ones live among leaf-litter or on stream banks. The Indonesian island of Sulawesi is home to at least 15 species of this frog, only four of which have been formally described.
Tadpoles of this genus have adapted to a variety of conditions. Most species (e.g. Blyth's river frog L. blythii or the fanged river frog L. macrodon) develop normally, with free-swimming tadpoles that eat food. The tadpoles of the corrugated frog (L. laticeps) are free-swimming but endotrophic, meaning they do not eat but live on stored yolk until metamorphosis into frogs. Before, L. limborgi was assumed to have direct development (eggs hatching as tiny, full-formed frogs), but more careful observations have shown...

Likely
About 60% of wildlife watchers report a Matang Creek Frog sighting in Kubah National Park on a given day, based on 83 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 12th most-seen of the 41 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 90%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and November
In those months about 80% of wildlife watchers report a Matang Creek Frog in Kubah National Park on a given day, against about 10% in January and February, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Matang Creek Frog sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Kubah National Park, in our data
Kubah National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Matang Creek Frog sightings: about 60% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Limnonectes
The closest relatives of the Matang Creek Frog that you can see in Kubah National Park (genus Limnonectes) are Giant River Frog (about 50%), Broad-headed Creek Frog (about 50%) and Malesian Frog (about 40%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Matang Creek Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Kubah National Park (83 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.
