Mascarene grass frog

The Mascarene grass frog, also known as the Mascarene ridged frog, is a remarkable member of the Ptychadenidae family. These frogs can be found in various regions, including sub-Saharan Africa, Madagascar, and Mauritius.

One of the most intriguing aspects of the Mascarene grass frog is its ability to thrive in a diverse range of environments. Whether it's dry or lowland tropical forests, montane regions, or savannas, this frog demonstrates remarkable adaptability. It also inhabits various shrublands, Mediterranean-type vegetation, and both lowland and high-altitude grasslands. Even seasonally wet or flooded grasslands can serve as suitable habitats for this resilient species.

Furthermore, these frogs are commonly found near rivers, wetlands, lakes, and marshes. They can be seen along shorelines and in human-modified environments such as agricultural areas, gardens, and urban spaces. From arable land and pastureland to plantations and even degraded forests, the Mascarene grass frog manages to make itself at home.

Additionally, these frogs are prevalent around water storage areas, ponds, aquaculture ponds, and irrigated lands. They also inhabit flooded agricultural lands, canals, and ditches. This incredible adaptability makes the Mascarene grass frog a truly extraordinary species.
