The Common Skittering Frog is a highly aquatic frog found in Asia and parts of the Middle East. It’s named after the fact that the frog seems to skip across the water.
The frog breeds during the start of summer. The males call from the edges of water bodies in hopes of attracting females. Some just sit right in the water and call. Once the female arrives, the male grasps her from behind in amplexus. Then, the female starts to lay her eggs in the water and the male fertilizes them.
The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List assesses the Common Skittering Frog as Least Concern for Extinction. They have a gigantic, large range and are numerous throughout it.
