The Argus reed frog or African reed frog (Hyperolius argus) is found in Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, Malawi, Zimbabwe and South Africa. It is one of only five species of frogs whose males and females do not share the same coloring. Males are usually green, and females usually reddish with small, bright spots. This species is highly variable in color and pattern. They live in low bushes and grasses in the wild. They show their best coloring under the sun. They are also the only species of frog that change their sex.
