This creatures look pretty amusing and harmless and, moreover, they can make interesting sounds. But it always seems that they are unhappy and terribly sad.
The Black rain frogs are found only on the southern slopes of the Cape Fold in South Africa.
When they feel anxiety and threat, they swell and expand their body, taking a more aggressive appearance.
As these frogs are considered to be a burrowing species, they mainly live in forests, and don’t even have the necessity of much water!
This gloomy froggy is not really disappointed or sad – it just looks like that.
The creatures are not large. They are only 4-5 cm long, with a round body on their thin legs.
During the mating season, the female leaves out a sticky substance from its back. It doesn’t want to let its partner go off.
What concerns malea, during the mating season they sit in a burrow and make short squeaking sounds for attracting the females.
The male frogs “sing” songs, which attract females, and the females lay 42-43 eggs in a nest, which is then guarded by the male until the frogs hatch.
This is how black rain frogs squeak hysterically when they anticipate the danger. Just listen …
