Fanged river frog

"Stone creek frog" redirects here and is not to be confused with Stony creek frog.

The fanged river frog, Javan giant frog, Malaya wart frog, or stone creek frog (Limnonectes macrodon) is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae endemic to Sumatra and Java, Indonesia. Records from other regions are probably caused by misidentifying other species such as Limnonectes blythii as this species.^[2]

Their lowland forest habitat is declining in both the extent and quality, and this once common species is getting uncommon.^[1] It is widely collected for human consumption in Java, Indonesia, along with the crab-eating frog (Fejervarya cancrivora).^[3]
