Amphibian Picture Quiz

I dont think any herptile has ever made us laugh so much as this little guy. He inflated himself so much that his legs and arms didn't touch the ground properly and ended running frantically and squeaking but going nowhere...ha ha

For this quiz I would like an english name and a full scientific name.

I will leave the quiz up for the weekend and give the answer on monday. I may give a clue or two.

One of the Breviceps rainfrogs but not sure which one.
It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

Those who are afraid to ask are ashamed of learning.

Well done guys for getting to the correct genus and well done Spikelet for getting really really close.

This one has smaller eyes than B. macrops.

This is Breviceps namaquensis.
