Geocache Description:

African dwarf frog

Photobucket

African dwarf frogs live nearly all of their lives underwater, but need to rise to the surface to breathe air because they have lungs and not gills. These frogs are fairly small in size and do not weigh more than a few ounces. These frogs vary in color, for the most part ranging from olive green to brown with black spots. The average life expectancy of these frogs can be up to 5 years, but they can live as long as 20 years; they are known to grow to a maximum of 2½ inches long. When young, African dwarf frogs can be mistaken and sold as African clawed frogs, African frogs of the genus Xenopus, which are larger and more aggressive than the dwarf.
