Golden-backed frog , Hylarana galamensis

Family Ranidae: members of this group are similar to typical frogs (Rana) except some species have enlarged finger and toe tips. Ours do not. Eggs are deposited in water; the call is a weird, human-like "yuck, kyuck." It appears in Arabuko-Sokoke fairly late in the rainy season.
