    dù pí bái bái bèi chūn huā,

  3. Specializes in eating mosquitoes, calls out "croak croak."

    专吃蚊虫叫呱呱。

    zhuān chī wén chóng jiào guā guā.

Let's break it down to figure out the answer.

  • "肚皮白白背春花" (dù pí bái bái bèi chūn huā) translates to "has a white belly and a flowery back." This description gives us an idea of the animal's appearance, with a white underside and a patterned or colorful back.
  • "不吃肉也不吃瓜" (bù chī ròu yě bù chī guā) means "doesn’t eat meat, doesn’t eat melons." This clue tells us about the animal's diet, indicating it doesn’t consume meat or fruits.
  • Finally, "专吃蚊虫叫呱呱" (zhuān chī wén chóng jiào guā guā) translates to "specializes in eating mosquitoes, calls out 'croak croak.'" This is a big hint, as it tells us that the animal's diet consists mainly of mosquitoes and it makes a distinctive "croak" sound.

Putting all these clues together, it becomes clear that the animal in question is a frog.
