The Jamaican laughing frog (Osteopilus ocellatus) is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to Jamaica.[1] Other common names include Savanna-la-Mar treefrog.[2]

This is a common species in most parts of Jamaica, where it occurs in a variety of habitat types, including developed but rural areas.

It is associated with bromeliads as It sometimes lays its eggs inside these plants and the tadpoles develop there.[1] It does this in regions of Jamaica where the porous limestone substrate prevents reliable above-ground water storage. On other parts of the island the frog will brood in streams or pools of water.[4]

Taxonomic studies determined that the binomial names Rana ocellata and Osteopilus brunneus belong to this species as synonyms, and distinguished this taxon from the mainly South American species Leptodactylus latrans.[3]
