The Most Unusual Frogs in the World
Frogs are amphibians. They live both in water and in land in a particular stage of their life. They are particularly noticeable during rainy days for their loud croaks especially during the night.
Some frog species are evidently unique in appearance and in characteristics. Here are some of them.

Male Darwin’s Frogs were once thought to be cannibals that they eat their young. It was learned that male Darwin’s Frogs put their young or tadpoles in their mouth to protect them from predators. In the literal sense, these tadpoles are raised inside the vocal sac of the males. These frogs are endemic to Argentina and Chile. They are also known for their technique to avoid their hunters by lying on the ground looking like a dead leaf until the predators pass by.
Hairy Frog (Sniktus bubus)

These frogs are native to Central Africa.
