Kaloula
''Kaloula'' is a genus of microhylid frogs found in southern and eastern Asia. They are sometimes known as the Asian narrowmouth toads. Species The genus currently has at least 19 species. Some sources also recognize ''Kaloula macrocephala'' Bourret, 1942 as a valid species, whereas the Amphibian Species of the World treats it as a synonym of ''Kaloula pulchra''. 5 new species have been described since 2000, and there are unnamed species yet to be described. ''Kaloula pulchra'', ''Kaloula picta'', and ''Kaloula borealis'' are the most widespread and commonly found varieties, often living near human settlements. Blackburn, et al. (2013) lists several ''Kaloula'' varieties that are likely to be new, previously undescribed species. *''Kaloula sp. nov. Palawan'': Closely related to ''Kaloula baleata''.

Kaloula Pulchra
The banded bullfrog (''Kaloula pulchra'') is a species of frog in the narrow-mouthed frog family Microhylidae. Native to Southeast Asia, it is also known as the Asian painted frog, digging frog, Malaysian bullfrog, common Asian frog, and painted balloon frog. In the pet trade, it is sometimes called the chubby frog. Adults measure and have a dark brown back with stripes that vary from copper-brown to salmon pink.

They feed primarily on ants and termites; predators of adults and tadpoles include snakes, dragonfly larvae, and snails. When threatened, they inflate their lungs and secrete a noxious white substance. The species is prevalent in the pet trade and is a potential invasive species being introduced in Taiwan, the Philippines, Guam, Singapore, Bor ...
