Photo by @amivitale. Today is World Frog day so let's celebrate these ancient creatures! This fellow lives in mangroves of Micronesia and is called the Palau frog or Palau wrinkled ground frog, a species of frog in the Ceratobatrachidae family. It is endemic to Palau. These spellbinding creatures who have existed for 190 million years in every climate and on every continent except Antarctica are in trouble. As many as 200 species have completely disappeared since 1980 and nearly 1/3 of all amphibians are threatened with extinction. Habitat loss, pollution, climate change, infectious diseases, invasive species and over-harvesting for pet and food trades are putting increasing pressures on their populations. It’s not easy being green (or red or yellow or purple or brown or blue or black with yellow polka dots) but you can help. Get started by following @amphibiansurvivalalliance and @savethefrogs and by supporting local conservation groups that help preserve forest, marsh and other frog habitats. @natgeo @natgeoimagecollection @thephotosociety @nikonusa #frogs #savefrogs #micronesia #palaufrog #climatechange #conservation #savetheplanet #nikonlove #nikonnofilter #nikon #nikonambassador #photojournalism #amivitale #cuteanimals (at Federated States of Micronesia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvPKwaxFR-Z/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14ab2e30hsjwg
