rgauzagronertDescription
Fairly certain this is a Southern Leopard Frog Tadpole. 2 Adults were also observed, but not photographed. Identification made based on body coloration being dark and not olive/army green colored, light lip line present, cream-colored venter, tail crest height was fairly high, and that there is a lack of mottling in the tail membrane.
