Banded Bullfrog

The banded bullfrog (Kaloula pulchra) is a narrow-mouthed frog, called the chubby frog in the pet trade. It is common from north-eastern India and Nepal to southern India and Sri Lanka, southern China (especially Hainan) and Myanmar, and south to the islands of maritime Southeast Asia. Adults measure 5.4-7.5 cm and weigh 80-120 g, with a dark brown back and stripes that vary from copper-brown to salmon pink (Wikipedia, general species account).

It lives at low altitudes in both urban and rural settings and in forest, hides under leaf litter by day and feeds in the evening, mainly on ants and termites. In dry periods it buries itself underground and emerges after heavy rain to call and breed; in India the males call after the monsoon begins in April or May. When threatened, it inflates its lungs and secretes a noxious white substance. Predators of adults and tadpoles include snakes, dragonfly larvae and snails (Wikipedia, general species account).
