Desert Rain Frog

Found in Namibia and South Africa, the Desert Rain Frog lives on the narrow strips of sandy shores between the sea and the sand dunes.  The locations in which this frog is found have at least one hundred foggy days per year.

It has a distinct feature:  On the underside it has a transparent area of skin through which its internal organs can be seen.

Its total range is small and fragmented.  The IUCN lists this frog as Vulnerable.  It is threatened by habitat loss caused by opencast diamond mining, road making and increased human settlement.
