This Frog is among up to 30 different species of Frogs that can be found in a small area inside Kubah National Park, fondly called, the Frog Pond. The Pond is not man-made but rather from wild pigs over hundreds of years. A visit to Kubah National Park is not complete without a night walk to The Frog Pond at dusk/night where you will hear amazing sounds, and a recording of this sounds was entered into a competition, which won The Most Beautiful Sound in the World earlier this year!
