Amphibian (5) - Malayan Giant Frog (Limnonectes blythii)

This is a juvenile Malayan Giant Frog, about 4 cm in length. An adult frog would not have the mottled botches on its whole body except the young. Adult looks quite different from young as it appears dull light green skin without mott. It could grow into a 17.5 cm giant frog!

Amphibian (4) - Unknown Frog - Request for ID

This was a small frog about 3 to 4 cm in size. It was found on the same stream with the the Puddle frog (see previous post). They do not look like the same species to me. I would appreciate if anyone can help me with the ID.
