![]() Termites and ants are their main food source. Intensified grazing can also disturb the soil composition, making it harder for them to move about and catch prey. Locals eat the frog, believing it to have medicinal purposes, and human activities can also disrupt the natural mating cycle which happens only once a year. Dams, farming, and deforestation have changed the natural areas of their habitats, compacted the soil, and created drier conditions than what the frog is used to. Most of the issue is due to human activity. Researchers are currently keeping an eye on the natural numbers to make sure that they don’t continue to decline. Their habitat is very narrow, and deforestation has disrupted many of the frog’s natural areas. Heavy rains are a critical part of the lifecycle of the frog, so lack of rainfall and droughts can cause population declines because of egg laying.Īlso, disruption of the natural pools that form during monsoon season could also contribute to reductions in population numbers. Humans are also dangerous predators because they destroy the forests and mess up the local ecosystems. People eat purple pig-nosed frogs and this could be significantly damaging the frog population. What eats a purple frog? Predators and ThreatsĪwkwardly, we do. In fact, local communities regularly harvest the frog for food. The purple pig-nosed frog is not aggressive, preferring to spend its life underground and hidden away. The subject of who discovered it is debatable considering the international scientific community seemingly ignores local mentions for many years. Biju and Franky Bossuyt have official credit for discovering and logging the new species in a 2003 paper detailing species from the region. It’s a bit of a messed up chicken-or-egg thing. Interestingly, the tadpole form was internationally accepted knowledge for almost 100 years before its adult form. The frog was well known to the locals and local scientific community for years before the international community made a formal record. It was officially “discovered” in 2003 even though the original paper glossed over several records from much earlier. The frog also has quite a few local Sanskrit names. Other names include Indian purple frog, pig-nosed frog, and my personal favorite: doughnut frog. What other names does the purple frog have? It’s derived from a Latinized form of Sanskrit from the area where it calls home and the Sanskrit word for “nose.” 7. It’s officially known by the Latin name Nasikabatrachus sahyadrensis. Its secondary name derives from its unique pointed snout that’s better suited to slurping up ants and termites underground than catching flies in the air. It got its name from its distinctive purple hue. How did the purple pig-nosed frog get its name? This bulk is supported on unique feet that allow them to burrow underground and spend most of their time there. It weighs 165 grams which is a little over the weight of a baseball. It’s small enough to burrow underground and spend most of its time there except during monsoon and mating seasons. The official range is 6 to 9 centimeters. How big is a purple frog?Įven though it’s fatter than the typical frog, it’s only about 7 centimeters long from snout to hind end. The juveniles resemble mature adults and prepare to move underground. ![]() They’re able to attach to surfaces and feed on small bacteria until mature enough to move on their own. Their eyes are small, and they mostly use them when above ground for the first few weeks. Its skeleton and front skull are harder than the average frog to account for the weight of the soil. It has much shorter legs with tough claws that make it easier for the frog to dig through loose soil it calls home. The frog is well suited to living underground. It also has a round, lumpy, and somewhat disproportionate body. In addition to the purple hue, the frog has a unique pointed nose, resembling a mole more than a frog. The frog lives most of its life underground, so it has very unusual features. The color is varied from dark across the back to an almost light brown on the stomach and feet.Īny of those photos you might see of bright purple poison frogs are not real just someone that got a little too happy with photoshop.Ĭheck out more weird animals that are real! 2. It’s not a bright purple, it’s more of an earthy purple color that’s unique to a species known for wide-ranging colors. But the “purple” may not be the color you think. Yes, believe it or not, the purple frog is real. Let’s learn a little more about this unique frog. It’s one of the most recently discovered species of frog and could be facing dangers due to human activity and habitat destruction. What eats a purple frog?

The song features a coda with a different tempo that extends the song’s length past three minutes, the first Beatles single ever to do so. McCartney said that was an incomplete description, and that “we sat down and wrote it together… give him 60 percent of it… we sat down together and worked on that for a full three-hour songwriting session.” This song was also the first song by the band in which McCartney was featured on lead guitar. ![]() Lennon said that McCartney’s contribution was limited to “the way Ringo played the drums”.

They say this was one of John’s personal favorites, probably because it has his most soulful vocal ever. In 2004, this song was ranked number 394 on Rolling Stone‘s list of “The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time”. It was recorded 15 February 1965 and released two months later. “ Ticket to Ride” is a song by the Beatles from their 1965 album, Help!. The opening circular riff, played on 12-string guitar by George Harrison, was a signpost for the folk-rock wave that would ride through rock music itself in 1965. In 1969, "Ticket to Ride" was covered by the Carpenters, whose version peaked at number 54 on the Billboard Hot 100.The Beatles were such a prolific album act that it’s sometimes hard to abstract their later singles here, they ride their roots as a bar band in Liverpool and Hamburg to a new kind of glory. Live performances by the band were included in the Beatles at Shea Stadium concert film, on the live album documenting their concerts at the Hollywood Bowl, and on the 1996 Anthology 2 box set. Among music critics, Ian MacDonald describes the song as "psychologically deeper than anything the Beatles had recorded before" and "extraordinary for its time"."Ticket to Ride" appears in a sequence in the Beatles' second feature film, Help!, directed by Richard Lester. ![]() The song was included on their 1965 album Help! Recorded at EMI Studios in London in February that year, the track marked a progression in the Beatles' work through the incorporation of drone and harder-sounding instrumentation relative to their previous releases. Issued as a single in April 1965, it became the Beatles' seventh consecutive number 1 hit in the United Kingdom and their third consecutive number 1 hit (and sixth in total) in the United States, and similarly topped national charts in Canada, Australia and Ireland.
