Rose's rain frog
Rose's Rain Frog〔Channing, Alan. 2001. Amphibians of Central South Africa: pg. 224〕 or Rose's Rainfrog〔Van Dijk, 1978, J. Herpetologist Association of Africa, 17: pg. 15〕 (''Breviceps rosei'') is a species of frog in the Brevicipitidae family.
It is endemic to the sandveld of south-western coastal South Africa.〔Frost, Darrel. (Breviceps rosei ), Amphibian Species of the World 5.0, The American Museum of Natural History. Retrieved July 23, 2007.〕 It is less-frequently known as Rose's Short-headed Frog,〔Frank and Ramus, 1995, Compl. Guide Scient. Common Names Amph. Rept. World: 88〕 Rose's Blaasop,〔Rose, 1950, Rep. Amph. S. Afr.: 93〕 or the Sand Rain Frog.〔Passmore and Carruthers, 1978, J. Herpetol. Assoc. Afr., 19: 4; Passmore and Carruthers, 1979, S. Afr. Frogs: 96〕 Some consider ''Breviceps fasciatus'' as synonym of this species,〔Poynton, 1964, Ann. Natal Mus., 17: 77.〕 although other authorities have expressed doubt.〔Harrison, J., Minter, L. & Channing, A. 2004. (Breviceps rosei ). (2006 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. ) Downloaded on 23 July 2007.〕
Frogs in this species spend most of their lives in subterranean nests under sandy ground, where they lay their eggs. They surface during heavy rain. They cannot swim, and are not found in water. Tadpoles develop inside the eggs and hatch as fully formed baby frogs.〔Channing, Alan. University of the Western Cape. Reproduced in (Fynbos Frogs ). Retrieved July 23, 2007.〕
==Habitats==
Its natural habitats are temperate shrubland, Fynbos Mediterranean shrubland vegetation, sandy shores, arable land, pastureland, rural gardens, and urban areas. It is threatened by habitat loss, and its range it restricted to less than 20,000 square kilometers.〔 Despite this, its future seems secure, as it is very adaptable and remains locally abundant.〔
