Calabresi's bullfrog (Pyxicephalus obbianus) is a species of frogs in the family Pyxicephalidae. It is endemic to northeastern and central Somalia.[1][2]

This uncommon species breeds in temporary ponds. Outside the breeding season, it is fossorial, and little is known about its habitat. It is assumed live in dry savannah and semi-arid habitats. Significant threats to it are unlikely, although livestock grazing, and perhaps fire and droughts, might have an impact.[1]
