Rana berlandieri
Description
Rio Grande Leopard Frogs live in central Texas to southeast New Mexico, most commonly in streams that run during all or part of the year. They avoid predation by hunting at night, hiding under vegetation and rocks, and by benefiting from their cryptic (camouflaging) coloration. They may hibernate in cold areas but are generally active throughout the year. Eggs are laid in water and tadpoles develop with no parental care. This is a 3-D printed, hand-painted model.
