The Family Leptodactylidae is a diverse group of frogs commonly found in Central and South America, with species adapted to a wide range of habitats, from forests to grasslands. These frogs are generally medium-sized and exhibit varied reproductive strategies, including laying eggs in water, foam nests, or moist terrestrial sites. Many species are terrestrial or semi-aquatic, feeding on insects and other small invertebrates. Leptodactylid frogs play important ecological roles as both predators of insects and prey for larger animals, contributing to the balance of their ecosystems.
