Death Feigning (Thanatosis) Behavior of Long-Legged Cricket Frog <i>Minervarya syhadrensis</i> (Annandale, 1999): Northern Western Ghats

We report death feigning (thanatosis) behavior in the frog, Minervarya syhadrensis from Northern Western Ghats. The southern cricket frog, M. syhadrensis exhibits death feigning behavior for 2 – 5 min as a secondary defensive mechanism to avoid predation. During death feigning behavior the frog remains immobile and doesn’t show any distress call.
