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 →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Browns' Frog sighting in Lago de Yojoa on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 6th most-seen of the 8 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and September
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Browns' Frog in Lago de Yojoa on a given day, against under 5% in July and October–May, the lowest months. Those are among Lago de Yojoa's wettest months, with about 310 mm of rain a month against 65 mm in April.
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.
4th of 4
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Browns' Frog sightings, Lago de Yojoa ranks 4th at about 10%. The best odds are in Pico Bonito National Park (Honduras, about 30%), Cusuco National Park (Honduras, about 30%) and Calakmul Biosphere Reserve (Mexico, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Browns' Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Lago de Yojoa (5 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.
