Savannah Forest Tree Frog

Leptopelis bufonides is a small, toad-like frog, with males measuring 29–33 mm (1.1–1.3 in) and females 37–41 mm (1.5–1.6 in) in snout–vent length. The dorsum is brown and shows a darker, backward-pointing, triangle-like pattern on the head, and an 'n' shaped pattern combined with a few mid-dorsal spots. Skin is warty. The legs are short, and the toes have only rudiments of webbing. The male advertisement call is a "clack" that is deeper and more atonal than the calls of other West African Leptopelis.

Leptopelis bufonides is known from Senegal, the Gambia, Burkina Faso, northern Ghana, Togo, northern Benin, northern Nigeria, northern Cameroon, and southern Chad. Its range may extend to several other African countries (e.g., Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Ivory Coast and Niger), although specimens have not been confirmed elsewhere.
