Purple Frog

Nasikabatrachus sahyadrensis is a frog species from the Western Ghats, India. It is commonly referred to as Purple Frog or Pignose Frog. It was first discovered in 2003. The frog spends most of the year underground, surfacing only for about two weeks, during the monsoon, for purposes of mating. The frog's reclusive lifestyle is what caused the species to escape earlier notice by biologists.
