Are they
angry? Or are they sad? Why are they so grumpy? It’s just their look, dude, not
because they are angry or sad!
This
black rain forest frog is native to the Southern coast of Africa and found at
elevations of about 3,300ft.
These
frogs can stretch themselves upto a maximum length of 2 inches and this often helps them in burrowing to create tunnels upto 6 inches of depth.
These
frogs don’t need open water to survive as they are a group of burrowing species
that inhabit the forests.
These
frogs puff themselves and expand their bodies in order to come into an
aggressive stanza once they are threatened.
Puffing
and stretching is often done by them to pull themselves out of the holes when
burrowing.
Females
discharge a sticky substance in order to keep the males stuck without falling
during the mating season.
This is
known as adhesive amplexus. This suggests the dislike to let go of the mate.
However,
the males are responsible for protecting the eggs laid by the females in the
burrow.
