Garden ponds, vleis, forests and desert, frogs are found in practically every environmental niche. Frogs and Frogging in Southern Africa examines how these remarkable creatures behave and how they have adapted to survive in different habitats. The field guide section of the book describes all 129 frog species that occur in the region and includes clear colourful photographs, keys and maps to aid identification. Other sections explain the evolution of frogs how to find photograph and record them, myths and medicinal uses and a wealth of other fascinating detail.

At night frogs are more often heard than seen and their calls are a reliable way of identifying species. The inclusion of a CD featuring 56 frog calls is a unique and valuable addition to the publication
