Breviceps mossambicus
Description
The Mozambique Rain Frog, also known as the Flat-Faced Frog, lives in central and southern Africa. Its natural habitats are savannah, bushy country and open woodland, especially the moister parts of these. It has bulging eyes, a stout body, and short limbs. In dry weather the Mozambique Rain Frog conceals itself under rocks or in hidden places among tree roots where it can conserve some moisture. This is a 3-D printed, hand-painted model.
