About Boophis viridis Blommers-Schlösser, 1979
This species is Boophis viridis, scientifically described by Blommers-Schlösser in 1979. Males average 29–30 millimetres (1.1–1.2 inches) in length, while females reach approximately 32–35 millimetres (1.3–1.4 inches). Both the hands and feet are webbed. Their dorsal skin is smooth and green, and may sometimes bear reddish spots. Individuals can change color to shift to a more reddish-brown shade. Both the inner and outer irises are blue. For reproduction, males call at night from vegetation 1–2 metres above ground, located alongside streams and ditches. During dry weather, calling individuals of this species have been observed as high as 5 metres above ground. The mating calls combine two distinct inharmonious note types: a long note repeated in short pulses, and a shorter note made up of three repeated notes. Breeding occurs in streams. A single mating pair can produce up to 154 dark-brown eggs.
