Simply adorable, with a verse that has fascinated millions of internet users. Frogs belonging to the genus Breviceps, called rain frogs, have now become a viral phenomenon on Youtube. Native to the coast of South Africa and the southwestern coast of Namibia, these are nocturnal creatures, which spend most of the day buried under the sand dunes.
What made it so popular on the web was above all the noise it emits, similar to that of a rubber duck, of those used for bathing children. This unusual sound is emitted when it is disturbed, swelling.
These small amphibians do not spend any stage of their life in the water and do not reach more than 5-6 centimeters in length. This is what she does when she feels threatened, as nature photographer Dean Boshoff documented while shooting the dunes in the North Cape.
The sweet creatures are currently on the IUCN Red List of Species i as Vulnerable of Threatened Species, especially for habitat loss. Maybe by spreading this video we can help save the cutest amphibian in the world.
