Hyperolius acuticeps Ahl, 1931
H. acuticeps is considered Least Concern. A major threat to this species is habitat loss through the drainage of wetlands for agricultural and urban development (Text from Minter et al., 2004, © SI/MAB Biodiversity Program).
Predators include various birds, snakes, terrapins, spiders and other frogs, while prey consists mainly of flying insects (Text from Minter et al., 2004, © SI/MAB Biodiversity Program).
H. acuticeps occurs in the Ivory Coast, Ethiopia, Somalia, extending southward to South Africa (Text from Minter et al., 2004, © SI/MAB Biodiversity Program).
This species inhabits the Savanna and Grassland biomes (Text from Minter et al., 2004, © SI/MAB Biodiversity Program).
Within five days of being hatched tadpoles leave the egg capsule (Text from Minter et al., 2004, © SI/MAB Biodiversity Program).
H. acuticeps breeding takes place in the wet season, in shallow coastal pans, vleis and inundated grassland with dense, emergent and or littoral vegetation (Poynton 1964; Lambiris 1989; Passmore and Carruthers 1995; pers.obs.). Females deposit 60–292 eggs, in groups of 2–20, on submerged leaves or roots (Text from Minter et al., 2004, © SI/MAB Biodiversity Program).
