The cave squeaker (Arthroleptis troglodytes) is a species of frog in the family Arthroleptidae.
Very little is known about this species save that it is taxonomically distinct from "true frogs" from the family Ranidae.
This ability frees the cave squeaker from dependence on bodies of water for reproduction.
[3] The cave squeaker is listed as critically endangered in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species because its extent of occurrence is less than 100 km2 and its area of occupancy is less than 10 km2, all individuals are in a single location, and a continuing decline in the number of mature individuals may occur, due to climate change (or other unidentified threats).
[3] In February 2017 scientists from the Natural History Museum of Zimbabwe in Bulawayo announced they had located and captured four specimens of the frog the previous December, the first such occurrence since 1962.
