The purple frog is a rare amphibian from the Western Ghats mountains in India. It lives almost its entire life underground and has a characteristic purple skin color.
The purple frog differs from other frogs in that it spends almost its entire life underground and has a special rounded body. It is important for nature because it controls insect populations and indicates the preservation of unique Western Ghats forests.
Legendary longevity: over 100 years. Galapagos tortoises, Greenland sharks, ocean quahogs celebrate with family once every 4 years
