What do they click with, one wonders?

Frogs make sound by puffing up and then as the air releases , it makes the sound , and that sound can be a loud croak , a snoring sound , squeeking , clicking or even whistling sound .
Humans talk , birds whistle ---- its basically a mating call

We need to include the Kalahari bullfrogs here as well - taken by M.Nel - EXCELLENT photos, if she will allow.

Klippie, I see that you have recovered Michele's Bull Frog

[Michele Nel]

Of course Bullfrog photos may be used. :)
It would be nice if I got some fresh ones on my upcoming trip. :)

Here are a few photos of what I think is a Cape River Frog All taken at Harold Porter Botanical gardens in Betty's Bay, Western Cape in October 2020.

Michele - great photos


I have never been to Harold Porter Botanical gardens. What else is there to see? Is it also good for birds?

Harold Porter was on our list, last time we were in the Cape, but we did not find the time
