Depto. Alumine, Rahue (Prov. Neuquén, Argentina)family
Leptodactylidae
order
Anura
class Amphibia
notes Female. The common name for this species is 'four-eyed frog' ('rana de cuatro ojos' in Spanish). This is because of the enlarged glandular pads on lower back that can appear to be 'eyes'when seen from the rear. They are much larger than the real eyes, and perhaps this causes a potential predator to think that the animal is much larger than actual.camera Canon QL/FT & 90 mm Vivitar macro lens
