Leptopelis bufonides Schiøtz, 1967
In Burkino Faso, L. bufonides is one of many frog species that are traded or consumed as a source of animal protein. Frogs are an integral part of the economy in areas with large frog populations because villagers are employed to catch and prepare frogs, and they are an "important international trading item." Aside from their value as an essential food source, frogs and, more commonly, toads may also be used for cultural reasons and as traditional medicine in areas where Western medicine is not available. Since L. bufonides is similar in appearance to toads, it is one of the species most commonly used in specific medical treatments (Mohneke, 2010).
