I need help with a Frog ID.
I only got the ''SASOL First Field Guide to Frogs Of Southern Africa'' and I fear this booklet isn't of any help here....
WE found his Little guy in our outdoor cupboard t Olifants Rest Camp in May.

hello,

the frog you have here is a foam nest frog. these lttle guys are commonly found around the camps in kruger. as you can see that they are whitish to light browno on the bottom and light to dark on the top. i once saved one of these guys when we were in letaba, he was sitting in the resuarant and i knew if he stayed there he would have got squished. so i moved him and put him in the bush

a lovely photo indeed.


all the best

ps. i good book to buy for frogs is frogs and froging by Vincent Carrathurs, you get a CD of frog calls and a very informative description on each southern african frog.

if it is ok with katydownunder i would like to turn this thread into a thread for people who want frogs ID. any pics of the frog you want ID and we can see who can get it first.


all he best Batmad

Thanx Batmad for your reply and the book recommendation.I certainly will have a look for it.

A Frog ID thread would be a great idea.

Saving the Frog from Letaba restaurant ?!
Good on you !!

We had a nice Froggie outside of our Bungalow at P'kop. But someone killed it by sprinkling something over it
Such a shame......

Now lemme guess.... Bungalow #19?

Here seen charging his batteries?

Good idea on the ID thread, batmad. I will make it a sticky.

I would also like to make it a thread for IDing all amphibians. Is that OK?

yip!

Pardon the pun.

Yuck@frog!

dont you like frogs or do they scare a man of your age?

just joking with you!

do you have pics of frogs for this thread?

We saw this frog/tadpole at Leeupan in Kruger in Feb which I think could be a Juv Giant Bullfrog.
