    They are known scientifically as Scaphiophryne marmorata. I had an opportunity to work with them at the local zoo. They are fairly easy to care for and quite secretive. I haven't heard of them being known as marbled hopping frogs, usually they are listed as Madagascar rain frogs or burrowing frogs.
