Arthroleptis stenodactylus
The species is abundant and widely distributed; it faces no significant short-term risk.
The dune squeaker is a small, unobtrusive amphibian of the African leaf litter that breeds without needing standing water: the eggs, laid in damp soil beneath the leaves, hatch directly into fully formed froglets. That independence from water has let it colonise forests and savannahs with no permanent pools.
