About Leptodactylus labrosus Jiménez de la Espada, 1875
Adult male Leptodactylus labrosus measure 49.2–61.5 mm in snout-vent length, while adult females measure 39.9–69.0 mm. This frog has prominent, protruding eyes. It inhabits dry environments including scrubland, and forests that contain at least some deciduous trees; it has occasionally also been found in evergreen forests, at forest edges, and on farms. This nocturnal, terrestrial frog occurs in leaf litter and other microhabitats with moderate humidity, and has been recorded at elevations between 0 and 1300 meters above sea level. Confirmed populations of the frog are found in three protected areas: Machalilla National Park, Manglares Churute National Park, and Mache Chindu National Park. It is thought the species may also inhabit Parque Nacional Cerros de Amotape and El Angolo Game Preserve. For reproduction, female Leptodactylus labrosus lay eggs in holes near water. When water subsequently floods these holes, tadpoles emerge and swim out into the water.
