The Kajika frog or Bueger's frog (Buergeria buergeri) is a frog. It lives in Japan. People have seen it on Honshu, Kyushu, and Shikoku.[2][3][1]
This frog can be small or medium sized. The adult male frog is 37 - 44 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 49 - 69 mm long. It has vomerine teeth in its jaw. There is only a little webbed skin on the front feet but a lot of webbed skin on the back feet.[3]
People see this frog in rivers and forests on mountains. They see this frog between 0 and 1600 meters above sea level.[1]
The female frog lays eggs in the water. She lays 200–600 eggs at a time. The eggs hatch into tadpoles with large disks on their mouths.[1]
Scientists believe this frog is not in danger of dying out because it lives in a large place. It has protected parks in it. In some places, the frogs die because people make dams.[1]
During the Edo period, people kept these frogs as pets because of their beautiful singing.[1]
