Nothophryne Broadleyi
''Nothophryne broadleyi'' (common name: Broadley's mountain frog, mongrel frog) is a species of frog in the family Pyxicephalidae found on Mount Mulanje (Malawi). It was monotypic within the genus ''Nothophryne'' until four new species were described in 2018. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by subsistence agriculture and extraction of wood. Also fires and invading exotic pines are threats. Distribution and habitat ''Nothophryne broadleyi'' is endemic to the mountains of southeastern Malawi where the mountains rise abruptly from the surrounding plain. Its altitude range is between about . It is abundant on Mount Mulanje in Malawi. It occurs in rocky areas in both montane forest and grassland. Ecology ''Nothophryne broadleyi'' breeds on wet rocks beside mountain streams. The eggs are laid on the soaked moss, and the young frogs eventually disperse across the rocks. Status The total area of occupation of this species is less than , and it is known from fewer than five loc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Frog
A frog is any member of a diverse and largely Carnivore, carnivorous group of short-bodied, tailless amphibians composing the order (biology), order Anura (ανοὐρά, literally ''without tail'' in Ancient Greek). The oldest fossil "proto-frog" ''Triadobatrachus'' is known from the Early Triassic of Madagascar, but molecular clock, molecular clock dating suggests their split from other amphibians may extend further back to the Permian, 265 Myr, million years ago. Frogs are widely distributed, ranging from the tropics to subarctic regions, but the greatest concentration of species diversity is in tropical rainforest. Frogs account for around 88% of extant amphibian species. They are also one of the five most diverse vertebrate orders. Warty frog species tend to be called toads, but the distinction between frogs and toads is informal, not from Taxonomy (biology), taxonomy or evolutionary history. An adult frog has a stout body, protruding eyes, anteriorly-attached tongue, limb ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
