Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Darren Pietersen
Comment:   Based on Picture 2. The individual in the top-right of Figure 1 looks suspiciously like a Northern Pygmy Toad (Poynonophrynus fenoulheti), but the photos aren't clear enough for a positive ID and there are no previous records north of the Zambezi River. The remaining frogs look like Snoring Puddle Frogs (Phrynobatrachus natalensis)
