A slippery frog, indeed! The Togo Slippery Frog is critically endangered, known from only a handful of sites in Togo and one site in eastern Ghana. Recently the ones from Ghana have been determined to be a separate species, but that has not yet been published, so for now this is really known as "Conraua cf. derooi", but I'll just leave it at Conraua derooi until its new identity has been locked down.

''Conraua derooi'' is a species of frog in the family Conrauidae. It is found in Togo and Ghana. Common name Togo slippery frog has been coined for this species. Even feared to be extinct, a few populations were found in surveys in 2005–2007, after the species had gone unrecorded for more than 20 years.
