Discoglossus scovazzi

Discoglossus scovazzi, the Moroccan painted frog, in French discoglosse peint or discoglosse à ventre blanc, is a species of frog in the family Alytidae.

[2] It is found in Morocco and the Spanish North African enclaves Ceuta and Melilla.

[3] D. scovazzi lives near streams, cisterns, and pools of either fresh or brackish water, often in Quercus forest, Nerium oleander scrub, or near ruins.

[1] Increasing pressure on agricultural land conversion and from surface water extraction to serve the expanding regional human population is placing downward pressure on this species (as well as other amphibians in the region).

It is believed to have diverged from its closest relative some 5–10 million years ago.
