Diet
Round-tongued floating frog predominantly consumes a diet of small amphibians as well as arthropods. This species displays opportunistic feeding habits, readily preying on available food sources within its environment.
Appearance
Round-tongued floating frog is a relatively small, semi-aquatic frog with a smooth, thick skin. Its main coloring is a vibrant green with dark, irregular spots. This species lacks any significant traits like wings, horns, or elaborate tails. While males and females alike exhibit similar patterns, males showcase a slightly darker hue during the mating season. With a flat, round body, it gives quite a distinct visual impression.
Behavior
Round-tongued floating frog is largely terrestrial, delighting in swampy, water-logged areas. Known for their excellent camouflage, they utilize the leaf litter and creepers for cover. Even though solitary by nature, a series of unique vocalizations can be heard, signaling territorial claims or mates attracting. Carnivorous, they hunt primarily snails and insects.
