chiricahua leopard frog :: Article Creator SAVING THE CHIRICAHUA LEOPARD FROG When a Chiricahua leopard frog wants attention, it snores — at least, its distinctive call sounds like a snore. But the sound of snoring around desert streams, springs and even stock tanks is a lot softer than it used to be. Once found in more than 400 aquatic sites in the Southwest, the frog is now found at fewer than 80. In Arizona, the Chiricahua has declined more than any other leopard frog.

The frog is also threatened by introduced species: Bullfrogs and green frogs compete with Oregon spotted frogs for food, while fish introduced for sport fishing ...
