Habitat:
It is a species of dry open savanna and grassland. It is believed to be fossorial, spending most of the year underground. Males have been found calling in flooded meadows, on bare ground or amid tufts of grass. It lays its eggs in a burrow in loamy soil (Nago et al. 2006). As in other Leptopelis species, it is expected that larvae emerge and develop in water.
Range:
This species ranges from Senegal and Gambia to Burkina Faso, northern Ghana, Togo, northern Benin, northern Nigeria, northern Cameroon and southern Chad. There do not appear to be any records from Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Côte d’Ivoire and Niger, but it is likely to occur in these countries.
Conservation:
It presumably occurs in several protected areas.
