About the Inger's Wart Frog
Limnonectes ingeri (common names: Inger's wart frog, greater swamp frog) is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. The species is native to the island of Borneo and associated islets. The specific name, ingeri, is in honor of American herpetologist Robert F. Inger.
On the island of Borneo, L. ingeri is found in Brunei, Indonesia, and Malaysia. The natural habitats of L. ingeri are tropical moist lowland forests, rivers, and swamps. Adults of L. ingeri prey upon relatively large animals such as other frogs and small reptiles.
L. ingeri is seriously affected by habitat loss, and locally also by collection for food. Kiew BH (1978). "The nomenclature and identity of the Javanese frog Rana macrodon Dumeril and Bibron". Malayan Nature Journal 31 (4): 219–229. (Rana ingeri, new species, p. 223). Wikipedia →
