Ain't it cute?





"The Namaqua Rain Frog, filmed here in Port Nolloth, South Africa, has become an internet sensation due to its suprisingly squeaky distress call. This small amphibian, measuring less than 5cm in length, spends most of its time underground and does not inhabit water. When feeling threatened, it inflates its body as a defense mechanism to deter predators as well as making a squeaky distress call." The Guardian
