Description
Endemic to New Zealand, archey's frog is a small frog that’s critically endangered due to its infrequent breeding, susceptibility to fungal and human-borne diseases, as well as for being an easy target for predators. Able to stand still for many hours, this frog doesn’t have loud calls, but it’s suggested that’s able to communicate through chemicals. Described as a living fossil, this species is the most primitive species of frog in the world.
