Dyscophus antongilii

Tomato Frogs are nocturnal and spend most of their time hiding under leaves or in the moist soil of Madagascar's tropical forests. They are primarily terrestrial and feed on a variety of insects and other small invertebrates, using their strong, sticky tongues to catch prey.

Breeding occurs during the rainy season, when males call to attract females. Females lay eggs in shallow pools or other water-filled depressions, and the tadpoles hatch and develop in the water. The tadpoles undergo metamorphosis into frogs over several weeks.

Tomato Frogs are known for their bright red or orange coloration, which is a warning coloration indicating that they are toxic to predators. They also have the ability to secrete a sticky, irritant substance from their skin when threatened, which serves as a defense mechanism.

Native to Madagascar, Tomato Frogs have been known to local communities for centuries. They are commonly found in the moist, humid forests of the island, where they have adapted to the tropical climate and environment.

The Tomato Frog is listed as "Least Concern" by the IUCN, although habitat destruction and the pet trade can impact their populations. Conservation efforts focus on protecting their natural rainforest habitats and monitoring their populations to ensure they remain stable.
