Phrynobatrachus latifrons

Phrynobatrachus latifrons is an extremely common species. It inhabits wooded and open savanna, secondary forest, degraded former forest, agricultural areas, and inselbergs in rainforest, but avoids closed primary rainforest. It breeds in temporary ponds, puddles, and roadside ditches. There are no significant threats to this very adaptable species. Phrynobatrachus latifrons are short-lived frogs that reach sexual maturity at the age of 4–5 months and live only for further two months. Their body size is small: males grow to a snout–vent length of 14–20 mm (0.55–0.79 in) and females to 16–23 mm (0.63–0.91 in). They are characterized by moderate webbing in their toes, absence of eyelid spine, lack of enlarged discs of finger and toes, and a yellow throat in breeding males.
