Field Notes
Description:
This frog in the order Anula, family Bofunidae is an injurious invasive species from the state of Hawaii. It has a very annoying call from dusk till dawn especially during rainy seasons. They eat almost anything edible that they disrupted the normal cycle of the ecosystem. They consume a large quantities of both harmful and useful insects and posible foods for other animals. The only thing I like them is that they also eat another annoying smelling mammal - a mole.
Habitat:
The adults of this frog like to stay at dark, dump and cool places. They inhabit almost anywhere in a tropical region.
Notes:
This frog has glands under its skin at the back that releases milky poisonous substance as a defense mechanism . That's why they are known to have no predator. I think so too, until I saw my uncle's Philippine Crested Serpent Eagle caught one of it, splits open the stomach by its beak and eats the internal organs.
