Purple Frog (Nasikabatrachus sahyadrensis)


This is one of the freakiest looking creatures on Earth - the Purple Frog. It is also known as Pignose Frog and is native to Western Ghats in India. The frog's reclusive lifestyle is what caused the species to escape earlier notice by biologists. It was discovered only in 2003. This frog's cry sounds more like one from a chicken. The frog spends most of the year underground, surfacing only for about two weeks, during the monsoon, for purposes of mating.
