Appearance
The plains froglet is a small, smooth-skinned amphibian with a distinctively stocky build. Its distinctive coloration generally merges gray, brown, and black hues, with males exhibiting dark markings on their throat. Its most unique feature is its large, protruding eyes that are located on the sides of its flattened head. No significant variations in appearance are known due to age, gender, or subspecies.
Behavior
Plains froglet is typically nocturnal, emerging in the evening to commence feeding and mating activities. This species is solitary, except during the breeding season when males vocalize to defend their territory and attract females. Remarkably, it survives harsh seasonal changes by burrowing into soil to avoid dehydration.
