Common Rain Frog
Breviceps adspersus
The Common Rain Frog is a small, burrowing amphibian native to southern Africa. It has a stout, round body with short limbs and is well-adapted to a subterranean lifestyle, spending much of its life underground to avoid dry conditions. This frog emerges mainly during heavy rains…
Did you know?
- The Common Rain Frog spends most of its life underground and may only surface for a few days each year to breed after heavy rain.
- Unlike many frogs, the Common Rain Frog does not need open water to breed, as it lays eggs in underground chambers. Its round, inflated appearance when threatened makes it look much larger to predators. Males have adhesive glands on their chests to help them cling to females during mating.
