The males position themselves within very slowly flowing waters. From there, they call loudly for females, with what they use its sound-blister at the head for the production of the sounds. During the reproductive-season, dozens of frogs can find themselves in such waters, that all look for a suitable partner. Only occasionally, one finds males near waters on some meters height in the branches. After the successful combination, the females bring the spawn into the water. A female can deliver up to 400 eggs. The eggs are small and yellowish with a black cap. Out of them hatch little tadpoles, which turn into frogs little by little.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A fascinating characteristic of this species is its varied appearance. The colors range from neon green to spotted to dirty brown, they can have a smooth back or multiform small thorns. Only one thing is common to all white-lipped Madagascar rowing frogs: the white-yellow lips that give them their name. The thorny back is a special characteristic of performing courtship display males, one can distinguish it easily from the smooth-backed females through it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Fortunately, the White-lipped Bright-eyed Frog lives in several protectorates of Madagascar. In the national parks Ranomafana and Andasibe-Mantadia as well as in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.madamagazine.com\/klima-auf-madagaskar\/\">reservation Vohimana<\/a> one can discover it particularly well.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A true giant among the frogs of Madagascar is the White-lipped Bright-eyed Frog.
