Kassina senegalensis, also known as the Senegal running frog, along with many other common names,[note 1] is a species of frog native to much of Africa. It is a small and solidly-built species with large eyes. Most of the body is greyish-black, but there are brown bands and spots on certain parts.[3] They can be found in many types of habitats, such as shrublands, grasslands, and wetlands, at elevations as high as 2,000 metres (1.2 mi).[1] Their breeding occurs in water, where eggs are laid in various locations and fertilised one by one.[4] They eat a variety of arthropods and secrete peptides from their skin to avoid becoming prey themselves.[5][6] Their population is assumed to be very large and not in any immediate danger.[1]
