Beane, Jeff

Abstract:

Beane discusses North Carolina's second-largest frog, the river frog (Rana heckscheri). This frog is among the most poorly known in the Southeast. Albert H. Wright described it first in 1924. These frogs range from southern Mississippi to southeastern North Carolina, where the Lumber and Cape Fear River systems provided habitats. They were readily found in these river areas between 1965 and 1975. The last known river frog in the state was collected on July 12, 1975.

Abstract:

Beane discusses the gopher frog, a creature that few North Carolinians have ever heard of, let alone seen. There are three species in the South--the Florida gopher frog, the dusky gopher frog of the Gulf Coast, and the Carolina gopher frog. The Carolina frog has symmetrically arranged warts that give a cobblestone texture to its skin. All three species enter the water only to breed; otherwise, they spend the rest of their lives deep in burrows. As with many other species, destruction of ponds and habitats is making the gopher frog extremely rare in its normal range.
