It's Leptodactylus fallax bruh

Well yeah you're technically right Chad (how does he knows that?) but I mean the common name. Give up already? Roll the drums please... rolls drums myself... this cute frog name is:

MOUNTAIN CHICKEN

You didn't see that coming do you? This cute little (little my ass, that thing can grow up to 22cm) frog lives in some caribbean islands like Dominica and Montserrat, eats almost anything that crosses his path and can adapt to several environments, however is critically endangered species (although some new studies say they're making a comeback)by destruction of the environment, fungal infection and of course over hunting, becasuse you see, that's basically where it's name comes from, this lovely frog is considered a delicacy because... sigh... It taste like chicken... I don't make this shit guys, really

I love the humor in this post, meme master.

You have a minor misspelling in the following sentence:

This cute little (little my ass, that thing can grow up to 22cm) frog lives in some caribbean islands like Dominica and Montserrat, eats almost anything that crosses his path and can adapt to several environments, however is critically endangered species (although some new studies say they're making a comeback)by destruction of the enviroment, fungal infection and of course over hunting, becasuse you see, that's basically where it's name comes from, this lovely frog is considered a delicacy because.
It should be environment instead of enviroment.
