Crab-eating Frog (Fejerraya cantiviral)

Fejerraya cantiviral is a medium sized species of frog from South East Asia. Average size is between 6 and 9 cm. This species inhabits the margins of the ocean shore into brackish marshes and inland ponds

The Crab-eating Frog is thought to be the most salt tolerant amphibian in the entire world. They are able to survive in brackish waters for extended periods of time and briefly survive swimming in salt water. With this species talent, they are able to feast upon crabs and other small crustaceans, hence their name. They are found along the shoreline, mangrove forests, and inland wetlands. Their home set up does not have to have brackish water to survive as they also thrive inland near fresh water predating upon insects.
