Frogs of Coorg from mampam.com: Euphlyctis cynophlyctus
| This frog was found at five of six larger water bodies, in puddles, ponds and a concrete tank, where predation by a chequered keelback (Xenochrophis piscator) was observed. It occurred in both cultivated and uncultivated parts of the estate. Differences were observed in colouration between frogs found in puddles and more permanent water bodies. E.cyanophlyctus was always seen in the water. Males appeared to be territorial, usually maintaining distance from each other and calling in trills. Males close to each other make various chirping calls and act aggressively. Amplexus was not observed in this species. Call Call 2 |
