Yes the dessert rain frog is a burrower, they will bury as deep as 7 inches to find moisture in the dry dessert sand. Also this frog has no tadpole stage and has a spherical body which is a clever adaption to help it retain water for longer.

Ya they are pretty adorable little frogs, my oldest daughter seen a youtube video of one squeaking like there was no more tomorrow and she instantly fell in love. The next words out of her mouth were " oh my god, can we get one dad." L.O.L

For a cool fact there are some species of frogs that lay their eggs on leaves overhanging water, and if they sense a predator or something else that can hinder their survival, they can hatch early, Red-eyed tree frogs included
Oh and that wasn't supposed to say desert sand, it was only supposed to say sand. Sorry about that.
When a frog swallows its prey and blinks, it is pushing its eyeballs down on top of the mouth to help push the prey item down the hatch. Here is another cool one, the female Surinam toad lays up to 100 eggs. These eggs are distributed over her back, her skin then swells around the eggs until they become embedded in a honeycomb like structure. After 12 to 20 weeks fully formed toads emerge by pushing out through the membrane covering the female toads back.

I want to thank everyone for their contributions. I got 100% on my presentation :-) They loved it. I used the pictures and facts and even a picture of a purple/grey black forest rain frog that scared everyoneIt was fun. They wanted me to keep going!
