The beautiful golden man- tella frog, Mantella aurantiaca, from Madagascar is a very small species and one of the most colorful of all frogs. Despite its bright color, it is hard to find, because it is normally hidden in vegetation;

however, it sometimes emerges in humid conditions.

The large African bullfrog, Pyxicephalus adspersus, is cryptically marked and difficult to observe, but its call is loud, far carrying, and especially impressive when combined in a chorus with the

calls of other bullfrogs. Its huge mouth enables it to tackle large prey.
