Western Barking Frog

The Western Barking Frog (Craugastor augusti) is perhaps one of Arizona's most unique amphibians. Only emerging to breed after the first heavy monsoon rains hit, this frog will move into rock crevices on steep hills and cliffs where it will proceed to calling/guiding females to breeding sites. The females will remain within these crevices where they maintain their eggs until they hatch into baby frogs. No Tadpoles!

(Make sure your sound is turned on for this one)
