Genus of amphibians / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Afrixalus, commonly known as the banana frogs, spiny reed frogs, cat's eye reed frogs, or leaf-folding frogs, is a genus of frog in the family Hyperoliidae.[1][2] They occur in the Subsaharan Africa.[1] They lay their eggs in vegetation above water, often folding leaves around the eggs for protection—hence the common name "leaf-folding frogs".[3]
