Name: Breviceps poweri, commonly known as Power’s rain frog, is a small, elusive amphibian that belongs to the family Brevicipitidae, a group of frogs characterized by their burrowing behavior and stout bodies. First described by Hampton Wildman Parker in 1934, the species was named in honor of John Hyacinth Power, a prominent South African naturalist and museum director. Despite its relatively obscure status in popular knowledge, B. poweri holds ecological significance and displays fascinating adaptations suited to a fossorial lifestyle in the savannas and woodlands of southern Africa
