The Kalakkad dancing frog is a tiny frog of the torrents of the Western Ghats that communicates in an unusual way: because the noise of the water drowns out any call, the male raises and waves a hind leg, spreading the white webbing of the foot, a visual signal that replaces sound and that gives the species its name.
