Leptodactylus colombiensis is a species of frog in the family Leptodactylidae. It is found in the foothills and lower slopes of the Andes in Colombia and westernmost Venezuela (Táchira).[1][3]
Leptodactylus colombiensis is a common frog. It inhabits lowland and lower montane and montane humid forests. It can also be found in degraded habitats provided that there are puddles. It is a terrestrial and nocturnal species but one that is closely associated with waterbodies; it shelters on muddy holes near water.[1]
Male Leptodactylus colombiensis grow to a snout–vent length of 33–56 mm (1.3–2.2 in) and females to 38–63 mm (1.5–2.5 in).[2]
