The purple frog is an unusual amphibian with a bloated body and a small head. Its striking purple skin and pointed snout make it one of the most recognizable frog species.
This burrowing frog spends most of its life underground, emerging only during the monsoon season to breed. The purple frog’s peculiar vocalizations, which sound like a chicken clucking, are used to attract mates. Its diet primarily consists of termites and other insects, which it captures using its sticky tongue. The purple frog is native to India.
