| Kaloula pulchra Gray, 1831 |
The Asian Painted Frog is also known as the Chubby Frog because of its appearance of a small mouth and round body.
This frog is native of South East Asia, and usually lives on the forest floor, in rice fields, and even in populated villages.
It has an ability to expand itself when threatened, and to secrete a glue-like substance from its body as a defense mechanism.
