Don't mess with this rain frog, or he'll squeak you into submission

Everybody needs a defense mechanism, but if you're looking for ideas you might want to crib from something other than our pal here, the Namaqua Rain Frog. Sure, the little guy is cute as hell and he can puff himself up like he's going to do you bad. But then he has to open his mouth, and at that point he becomes about as intimidating as the squeaky ball in your dog's toy box. Maybe that's why the Namaqua, which is found mostly in scrub areas along the South African coast and inland, spends most of his time underground. Hey, maybe you'll want to make his cry your ringtone. Now that would be scary.
