"Breviceps adspersus" - also called the common rain frog. Quite fitting, since they are abundant throughout southern Africa. They spend most of their time in burrows, emerging only to feed and mate. The latter can be a bit challenging since the female is much bigger than the male, and he cannot grip her for amplexus. To counter this, the female secretes an adhesive from her back that allows the male to glue himself to her. (These frogs often find themselves in sticky situations, but they can dig it. Though their lifestyle might be a bit too underground for some)
