Frogs

Frogs are the only amphibians found on Madagascar. Currently, around 240 species have been described, but once cataloguing is complete, the island’s final total is likely to exceed 400 species. A staggering 99% of these are endemic. The humid rainforests harbour the greatest diversity, but a significant number of species live in dry areas and many of these become seasonally dormant.
