Description
The Spanish painted frog is a medium-sized amphibian. The top of the frog is predominantly colored with dark browns in the form of spots or stripes, and its underbelly is usually white or yellow. The males will have webbing between their hind toes, but the webbing will not be found in females and adolescent males. During its mating season, the males will develop black calluses on the toe webbing, throat, belly and parts of the forefeet. This frog is very closely related to the Iberian painted frog, but they differ in a couple of significant ways. The Spanish painted frog will have shorter snouts and smaller forefeet than their Iberian counterparts.
