🔥 Meet BROOKS’ BURROWING FROG — Nature’s Adorable Forest “Potato”! 🥔🐸
Brooks’ Burrowing Frog (Cyclorana brevipes) is a round, compact species designed perfectly for life beneath the surface.
Rather than leaping around like typical frogs, it spends most of its time hidden underground, only surfacing after heavy rains when food is plentiful and breeding begins.
Its bumpy, earthy-colored skin helps it blend into soil and leaf litter, making it nearly invisible on the forest floor.
✨ Fun Fact: This frog can draw moisture directly through its skin and store it internally, allowing it to stay hydrated and survive long dry spells while staying buried!
