Save The Purple Frog! As ancient as the dinosaurs, Bhupathy’s Purple Frog is among nature’s most intriguing and distinctive creatures. It features a snout-like nose, produces a chicken-like call, and spends the majority of its life underground, surfacing only once a year. Its coloration is notably purple-ish, adding to its unique appearance.

This remarkable amphibian faces significant threats in its native habitat of southwestern India, where it is currently classified as endangered. Protecting this species is crucial for maintaining biodiversity and ecological balance.
