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.
