A little natural history
An underground specialist from India’s Western Ghats with a pointed nose and rounded body. Its hidden lifestyle helped keep it outside formal scientific description until 2003.
The wonderfully odd bit
Males can call from concealed burrows rather than an exposed pond edge.
Would this frog suit a home?
