| Rhinoderma darwinii (Duméril & Bibron, 1841) |
Darwin's Frog (Rhinoderma darwinii) is a frog native to Chile and Argentina. Its most striking feature is the way the tadpoles are raised - inside the vocal sac of the male.
The frog is brown to green with a size of 2.5-3.5cm. It eats insects and other arthropods.
It is named after Charles Darwin.
