Purple Frog

The purple frog has an awkward appearance with a tiny face and a sucker-like mouth, which has earned it the name pig-nosed frog. It’s native to India. The frog lays tadpoles on rocks that have algae covering them. 

Adults often inhabit underground spaces, and locals are known to use the tadpoles for medicinal purposes. Some believe that the tadpoles can also help children who fear storms, and they create amulets out of them. These are some of the reasons why the purple frog has become endangered as well as deforestation.
