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 Pico Bonito National Park on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 9th most-seen of the 11 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August
In that month about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Browns' Frog in Pico Bonito National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March, June and September, the lowest months.
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.
Yes
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Browns' Frog sightings, Pico Bonito National Park has the highest daily chance: about 30%. Next come 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 Pico Bonito National Park (10 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.
