Dainty Frog Cacosternum oettgeri Many people in Botswana believe that frogs fall from the sky during heavy rains. The Kgatla consider frogs a vital ingredient when making their "rain medicine." Found in Eastern Botswana and the western Kalahari, the Dainty Frog chooses still water to lay its eggs. A cape fauna member, this frog was more than likely distributed by the Molopo River system.
