Endemic to the southern coast of South Africa, the Tsitsikama Black Rainfrog is a burrowing frog, and can be found in tunnels up to 15 cm deep and spends most of its time underground. It generally prefers to avoid water.
It is primarily nocturnal and emerges from its burrow to scavenge for food.
It does not have tadpoles and instead has young which emerge from the egg as smaller versions of the adults. These are called froglets.
