Keller's foam-nest frog (Chiromantis kelleri) is a frog. It lives in Ethiopia, Somalia, and Kenya. Scientists think it might live in South Sudan too.[2][3][1]

This is a large frog. There are dark spots on the sides of the body.[3]

Scientists thought this was the same species as Chriomantis petersii, but they changed their minds.[1]

Scientists believe this frog is not in danger of dying out because it lives in a large place.[1] The frog might be in some danger from humans building towns and cities and making places for animals to eat grass.[3]
