The desert rain frog, web-footed rain frog, or Boulenger's short-headed frog is a species of frog in the family Brevicipitidae. It is found in Namibia and South Africa. Its natural habitat is the sandy shores between the sea and the sand dunes. It is threatened by habitat loss by such factors as mining and tourism. The desert frog is a plump species with bulging eyes, a short snout, short limbs, spade-like feet, and webbed toes. On the underside, it has a transparent area of skin th

rough which its internal organs can be seen. It can be between 4 to 6 centimetres long. Its color is yellowish-brown, and sand often adheres to its skin. Unlike most other species of frogs, it develops directly from the egg into adults without passing through the tadpole stage. It has a stout body, with small legs, which makes it unable to hop or leap – instead, it walks around on the sand. Unusually for a frog, it does not require water in its habitat to survive. Its eyes are comparatively large and bulging.The desert rain frog is nocturnal, spending the day in a burrow where the sand is moist.☆
