Black Rain Frog
Tumblr media
AKA plain rain frog, brown short-headed frog, tsitsikamma frog, Breviceps fuscus
A little avocado...
Rain frogs can look a little silly, like little balls with arms, but they're also very interesting! They spend most of the day burrowed up in soil or leaves, and don't hatch as tadpoles - their babies are already frog-shaped, and called froglets!
Black rain frogs in particular have little inward-facing arms that make them better at burrowing! They're only found within a small region of South Africa, and can be up to 2 inches long.
They live in shrubland, preferably near sand they can burrow up in, and don't like living near open water. They only live their 6-inch-long tunnels at night, in order to hunt and mate. They can also inflate to try to scare off predators, getting up to 7 times as big!!

I just realized something… My family doesn’t even know my favorite color. They also don’t know about my favorite animal; the black rain frog.
The black rain frog, also known as Breviceps fuscus, is a frog that has to crawl instead of walk. This fucking frog can’t walk, jump, or swim, how is it even a frog at this point? I love them because they look so stupid and grumpy/sad, they are adorable in that way. They eat insects such as termites, flies, crickets, and ants. They also dig up larvae, such as moth larvae, spider larvae, and and other spineless beings, then eat them. The frogs also have bumps on their skin, these bumps are not warts, but are instead something called knobby tubercle. These frogs are really silly and ugly, making them even cuter. They are found in temperate forests in South Africa. The black rain frog is actually really tiny, like a juvenile could fit on a fingertip, so small. I love these little guys so much, I could talk about them forever, AAAAAAAAAAA. I LOVE THEM SM.

Common Coquí: Named after their call, the common coqui is found in Puerto Rico. This call not only serves to attract a mate, but also to mark territory. A challenging male may enter their territory and begin a duel, where they call for up to several minutes and the first to falter loses. Adults climb higher in the canopy at night and return to the ground when humidity drops in the morning, while juveniles tend to stay closer to the ground. They lay their eggs on leaves in this canopy, where they hatch directly into frogs. Males guard these eggs – although they sometimes eat a few – and chase off any predators.
Black Rain Frog: This frog is found in the forested and mountainous regions of southern South Africa, not relying on nearby sources of water. Instead, it burrows in tunnels up to 150 mm deep or lives low in the foliage of the area. Eggs are laid in similar, shallower burrows, and covered with a few layers of unfertilized eggs for protection. The male also remains near the burrow to guard it from threats, even while continuing to call.

I refuse to accept that there are any differences between African Rain Frogs and Black Velvet Spiders
