The striped river frog lives in South Africa near streams and rivers. It has dark stripes on its back and sides that help it hide among rocks and grass.
The striped stream frog differs from related species by its distinct dark stripes and life near flowing water. It helps nature by eating many insects and serving as food for snakes, birds, and other animals.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
