Just listen to this little buddy

And here’s the desert rain frog. Native to a small coastal strip of land between the African countries of Namibia and South Africa, it spends most of the day buried in sand dunes.

It has flanges on its back feet that act as little diggers to more easily navigate its coastal terrain.

The small patch of the world that they inhabit is prone to sea fog, which keeps the sand moist in an otherwise arid region. They have a patch on their bellies that is not only transparent but also has numerous blood vessels and capillaries through which they can absorb water directly from the sand.

As cute as it looks, it’s the desert rain frog’s ferocious roar that really made a name for it. While every frog species has a unique call, this one goes all out in defending its turf, as wildlife photographer Dean Boshoff bravely discovered when shooting at the dunes along Port Nolloth in the Northern Cape province.
