Zombie Frog
measures about 1.5 inches.
Got its name based on how the researchers (Ernst and his colleagues) looked after pawning through the mud to find it.
Part of the genus Synapturanus.
Was discovered in Guyana, South America.
They are nocturnal and live underground. Males only emit their calls during or just after heavy rains in the tropical setting making it challenging to pinpoint their location.
