Their distribution area reaches from Mananara in the north to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/ranomafana-national-park\/\">Ranomafana<\/a> and the Andringitra mountains in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/category\/sued\/\">south<\/a> of the island. In their habitat, the yellowish shining <a href=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/amphibien\/\">Madagascar frogs<\/a> are bound to slowly flowing waters. Also, larger puddles and ditches filled with water are inhabited. Although the frogs live in the rain-rich forest belt of the east coast of Madagascar, their activity is seasonal. During the rainy season from November to March, it is mating season. The males climb on plants so that they sit about one to two meters above the ground. From there they call loudly for females. If a worshipped female follows the call, the male jumps on her back in the water and fertilizes the female&#8217;s eggs. The female can spawn a good 150 eggs. They are small and dark brown. Within a few weeks, the tadpoles develop into land-seekers, lose their tails, and finally look like real Bright-Eyed Frogs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In contrast to most animals of Madagascar, <em>Boophis viridis<\/em> is classified as least concern on the IUCN red list. Although the habitat is endangered by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/english-tavy-kahlschlag-einer-insel\/\">slash-and-burn<\/a>, logging, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/madagaskars-heimliches-wahrzeichen-das-zebu\/\">zebus<\/a> grazing, the population is still very large. If you want to find this little frog, you should search at night. Due to its bright skin color, the frog stands out much better in the dark from leaves, ferns, and grass. During the rainy season, it is almost always found in the reserves <a href=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/reservat-v-o-i-m-m-a\/\">V.O.I.M.M.A.<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/reservat-mitsinjo\/\">Mitsinjo<\/a> as well as in the National Park <a href=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/reservat-mitsinjo\/\">Andasibe-Mantadia<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anyone who has ever been on the road in Andasibe-Mantadia will surely have discovered it at night: Boophis viridis, the Green Bright-Eyed Frog.
