Bwindi’s amphibians, including frogs, toads, and newts, are particularly well-suited to the park’s humid environment. Some species are endemic to the region, making the forest a key site for amphibian biodiversity. Noteworthy examples include:
- Rwenzori Torrent Frog (Petropedetes rex): This rare frog is found near fast-flowing streams and indicates clean, oxygen-rich waters.
- Bwindi Forest Frog (Afrixalus spp.): An endemic species that thrives in the park’s leaf litter and small water bodies.
- African Clawed Frog (Xenopus laevis): A unique amphibian that adapts easily to fluctuating water conditions and is often found in Bwindi’s marshy areas.
