Description
Leptobrachium hendricksoni is commonly known as the Spotted Litter Frog belongs to the family Megophryidae. The spotted litter frog has wide head, large eyes, short legs and almost no webbing (Inger & Stuebing, 2005). This species is brownish or reddish in colour. The underside of this species is white or cream-coloured with many small black dots. Commonly, the females are larger than the males. It occurs in Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. It can be found in flat, swampy forests. Meanwhile, the tadpoles live in quiet pools of slow flowing streams. The body and tail for this tadpole is pale brown in colour and have many small black dots. The main threat for this species is the rapid clearing of lowland forests (IUCN, 2017).
