The water holding frog can draw its internal organs in tight to keep them all moist. They also secrete a form of mucus over themselves which preserves water in their bodies. They can go several years without water, and when it rains, they will all come up. Rainy season is mating season. When it rains, the males will look for a mate. Mating ensues quickly, and the tadpoles metamorphosis much quicker than an ordinary frogs.

Where do frogs come from when it rains in desert country?

When it rains in desert regions, frogs often emerge from underground burrows or hidden crevices where they have been dormant during dry periods. These frogs, such as the spadefoot toad, have adapted to survive long droughts by entering a state of estivation. When rain falls, they quickly rehydrate, breed, and take advantage of the temporary pools of water for reproduction and feeding. This remarkable adaptation allows them to thrive in harsh and arid environments.
