The series of actions, waiting, jumping, turning and preying are completed coherently, and the delicious food is easily captured. The Boulenger’s spiny frog enjoys this way to eat.

Global environmental changes have a direct or indirect impact on amphibians and their biological communities. The Boulenger’s spiny frog plays an important role in maintaining the natural ecological balance. Scientific research has shown that this frog has high requirements for water quality, geology, and climate, so it is an indicator animal for environment monitoring. In recent years, scholars have done a lot of research on the genetics and artificial breeding of the Boulenger’s spiny frog.

The “waiting-style” predation method is quite ornamental. Boulenger’s spiny frog does not actively look for food, but quickly strikes after finding one around. This is due to its strong hind legs. The energy of its hind limbs accounts for 50% energy of the whole body, which is one of its distinguishing features.
