April is Frog Month! 🐸 This month, we are going to feature a species of frog every week! Today, we’ll feature the unique Turtle Frog!

Turtle frogs are a species of frog commonly found in Western Australia in woodlands and scrub with sandy soils. The name “turtle frog” derives from their distinctive appearance that looks like a turtle without its shell! 🐢

These frogs spend most of their days living underground, burrowing headfirst into the soil with their muscular front legs. After breeding, turtle frog eggs are laid at least 3 feet deep underground, where development occurs entirely within the eggs, without a free-living tadpole stage! 😱

Their diet 🍽️ consists largely of termites, with some records showing the turtle frog eating up to 500 termites in one sitting!!

Thanks for learning with us! Stay tuned for next week to see another featured frog!

April is Frog Month! 🐸 This month, we are going to feature a species of frog every week! Today, we’ll feature the MASSIVE Pixie Frog!

Pixie frogs, also known as African bullfrogs, are mainly nocturnal frogs found in the dry grasslands of South Africa!

Did you know?! These big beasts can get as heavy as 3 lbs! How much do you think Son of Sam weighs? 🤔

Pixie frogs breed after heavy rains, and the males will form breeding arenas, also known as leks. Only the largest of males gets the female!
