Pyxicephalus Differences

[Malachi]

My P. Edulis,

I believe it is male?

Thanks, Malachi, for your great pix of P.edulis. If you would like to contribute to our project, you are most welcome.

I will be busy today and won't be back until this evening. I will look in all my African field guides for a good description on P. edulis. I also have Roedel's book which has a detailed description of edulis.

I would love to. I can bust out the good camera and can get some better shots from different angles as well. Let me know what you need.

Wow! I just received 3 different emails from associates in South Africa who have information on the genus Pyxicephalus .... and the photos are coming in DIFFERENT!!!

As soon as I can organize what is happening, or try to clarify what photos are being thrown around, I will let you all know. But it looks like what we are calling edulis may not be. Very weird.

Very odd Jeff, The pictures posted by Malachi and the one you posted before that are what I always thought to be the "classic" Edulis.
Did you receive the pictures I sent you last night?

[onedge30]

Kevin, yep got your pictures. Last pm will download today.

The pictures that I am being sent from Africa, are looking like the edulis we know, is the odd man out. I need to look more closely at this information before I post it. And send a few emails back and forth with the sources for positive identification.
