Ethiopian Banana Frog
Afrixalus enseticola
The Ethiopian banana frog (Afrixalus enseticola), also known as the Bonga banana frog, is a small species of frog that is endemic to Ethiopia. They live in altitudes of 1,700–2,750 m (5,580–9,020 ft) on both sides of the Great Rift Valley in the Ethiopian Highlands. It is classified as "vulnerable" on the IUCN Red List (2004) due to decline of forested habitat in the highlands.
An adult Ethiopian banana frog only reaches a length of 20–28 mm (0.79–1.10 in).
