Meet the common rain frog (Breviceps adspersus)! This frog lives in parts of Africa, including Zimbabwe, Botswana, and South Africa, where it inhabits savanna and shrubland. Following a heavy rain in spring or early summer, it emerges from its burrow to mate. Its burrows are typically found in areas below a rock or log where the soil retains a level of moisture. Fun fact: It has horn-like projections on its heels to help it effectively dig backwards!
