Painted Reed Frogs

Painted reed frogs are native to eastern and southern Africa. Although little more than an inch long, males produce one of the loudest of frog mating calls, enabling females to find them from far away.  They are highly variable in colour and some of the variants may be distinct species.  Unlike many colourful frogs, they are not toxic or distasteful and are prey to a wide variety of animals.  Though they are declining in some localities, as a result of loss of breeding habitat, their numbers are increasing in parts of South Africa.
