The common rain frog of southern Africa is classified as a fossorial species, meaning it spends most of its time underground. This small creature cannot jump or swim like most frogs; however, it is highly skilled at digging. In the dry winter months, it digs as deep as 30 centimeters beneath the surface of the ground to prevent its body from losing water. During this period, these frogs are not particularly active; instead, they conserve energy until the rainy season arrives. When the early summer rain comes, the male frogs emerge to feed and set up calling sites near their burrows. From these spots, they attempt to attract females with their unique nighttime mating calls.
