Leopard Frogs or Pickerel Frogs?

[Larry Wardog]

I was so unsure, I thought they were Pickerel Frogs. I actually let them go, but I think about them

I think they are both northern leopard frogs. There is actually quite a bit of variation in both their color pigmentation and patterning; there are even some that don't have any dark blotches (Burnsi morph) and those that have only dark mottling (Kandiyohi morph). I come across a lot of northern leopard frogs in the lab depending on what kinds of experiments we are running.

Do pickerel frogs not secrete toxins that kill other frog species?
