Breviceps acutirostris, also known as common rain frog, [1] strawberry rain frog, [1] [2] or Cape short-headed frog, is a species of frog in the family Brevicipitidae. [2] It is endemic to the southwestern Cape region in South Africa. [1] [2] It is a burrowing frog that lives in fynbos heatland and forests at elevations below 1,600 m (5,200 ft) above sea level. Development is direct [1] (i.e., there is no free-living larval stage [3]). It is threatened by habitat loss, although much of its habitat is also protected. [1]
