Hi there,
Can someone please ID these frogs I found around Calahonda, Malaga, in Spain last year?

Thanks,

Jason

Thanks for your quick reply and the identification Mario. The second and third photos vary hugely in appearance from the Perez's Frogs that I found a couple of years ago in Torremolinos. I have read that about this species though.

Time so split a hair - Discoglossus jeanneae is clearly not a species in its own right, as there's a lack of reproductive isolation from galganoi => Discoglossus galganoi jeanneae. Have a nice day! :mrgreen:

Although I'm an old bastard, still I'm able to learn and accept different opinions :lol:
