Adorable Pictures Of The African Rain Frog, The Grumpiest Looking Frog In The World

The African rain frog has a face that looks permanently unimpressed, and that is exactly why people cannot stop looking at it. Small, round, and a little dramatic, this tiny amphibian has become an internet favorite for its grumpy expression and unusual habits.

Native to the southern coast of Africa, these frogs live in burrowed tunnels and can stretch to about two inches long. They do not need to stay near water to survive, and when they feel threatened, they puff up to look bigger and harder to pull from their holes.

That mix of cute and cranky makes every photo feel like a tiny mood. Read on.
