Atlantic Coast leopard frog : ウィキペディア英語版 | Atlantic Coast leopard frog
The Atlantic Coast leopard frog (''Rana kauffeldi'') is a species of amphibian that is endemic to the United States. As a member of the genus ''Rana'', it is classified as a true frog, with typical smooth skin and a narrow waist. Its range stretches along the northern part of Eastern Seaboard, from Connecticut to North Carolina. The species takes its common name from the speckles on its legs and back reminiscent of a leopard pattern. It is one of several species classified as leopard frogs, distinguished as unique through its mating call, genetic differences, habitat, and morphological distinctions. ==Etymology== The Atlantic Coast leopard frog is one of several species of leopard frogs. Its species name, ''kauffeldi'', is derived from the name of herpetologist Carl Frederick Kauffeld, who in 1936 proposed that there could be a third species of leopard frog inhabiting the New York Tri-State Area. The author team that described the species in 2014 christened it after Kauffeld in honor of him.
