In this Sept. 27, 2011, photo, a gopher frog is seen at the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans. A Louisiana landowner says his plans for a residential development are imperiled by federal designation of 1,500 acres (600 hectares) of his land as critical habitat for the frog currently found only in Mississippi.   The U.S. Supreme Court’s opening case Oct. 1, 2018,  will be Edward Poitevent’s challenge to that designation of critical habitat for the dusky gopher frog, a dark, warty animal that puts its forefeet over its eyes when picked up.
