The red-bellied green frog is a small heron with a green back and rufous belly. It lives near water bodies in Africa and catches prey in shallow water.
The red-bellied green frog differs from other frogs by its bright rufous belly and green back. It is important for nature because it helps control the population of fish and insects in African water bodies.
