abstract
  • The Kihansi spray toad (Nectophrynoides asperginis), is a species of toad in the Bufonidae family. Females reaching up to 2.9 cm (1.1 in) long and males up to 1.9 cm (0.75 in). This ovoviviparous species was scientifically described in 1999. It was found only in the spray zone around the Kihansi waterfalls in the southern Udzungwa Mountains in Tanzania. At about 20,000 m2 (220,000 sq ft), this was one of the smallest natural distribution known for any vertebrate species, Following the construction of the Kihansi Dam, it became extinct in the wild. A captive breeding program is maintained at a few U.S. zoos, and it is hoped the Kihansi spray toad can be reintroduced back into its natural range.
