Microhylidae

Range: Distributed in the tropics of Southeast Asia, the Malay Archipelago, the Americas, Africa, and Australia. Genera - 63 Species - 535 Ecology and behavior: Live a terrestrial or arboreal lifestyle, active at night, spending the day in shelters.

Can climb vertical cliffs. Inflates itself when threatened. Feed on insects, mainly ants and termites. Produce loud calls, especially during the breeding period, which takes place in water bodies. The male's calls at this time resemble the voice of a llama. The female lays up to 40 eggs. In some species adapted to arid climates, the tadpole stage is skipped. Morphological features: Body length from 3-4 to 10 cm. Body egg-shaped, head small, mouth narrow. Females are larger than males. Many species have large, sharp, spade-like tubercles on the heels, with which the frogs burrow into the ground. The thin skin of this animal's back is densely covered with enormous glands that secrete a liquid which hardens in the air, forming a kind of armor -- a means of protection against termites. In addition, a bony ring surrounds the eyes.
