Identification.This frog fit the description of H. tigerinusas a large brown and olive frog with dark blotches and light dorsal line, pointed snout, tympanum and supratympanic fold prominent, and legs large and powerful ( Kabir et al. 2009). It was distinguished from the similar H. crassus(Jerdon, 1854)by a more pointed snout, tibio-tarsal articulation which extends past the eye, and SVLof over 13 cmin adults ( Khan 2008). It was distinguished from H. litoralisHasan et al., 2012due to the lack of distinctness of the black bands across the eye and both lips ( Hasan MK et al. 2012). Its call is a loud and deep croak repeated at regular intervals. Habitat. Hoplobatrachus tigerinuswas predominantlyfound in heavily human-modified areas such as rice pad- dies, canals, and man-made ponds. Adults were always found near water, while juveniles could be found some distance away even in degraded forest and tea plantation.
