Let’s celebrate #worldanimalday with this shot of a hyper cute Casque-headed tree frog (Triprion spinosus) froglet!! It was one of the cutest little living beings I ever saw in my life. A precious moment. I was able to see this species thanks to @kenneth_m_g at Centro Manù in Costa Rica and to my guide @sierpe_frogs #amphibianconservation #animal #animalday2022 @ilcp_photographers (at Centro Manú Costa Rica) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjTAmDPK_go/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Day 4/100 of #100daysofEDGEspecies: Purple Frog. The purple frog (or pig-nosed frog) is endemic to the Western Ghats of India. It belongs to the family Nasikabatrachidae, which has been evolving independently for around 100 million years, but the species was actually only formally described in 2003. This fossorial (burrowing) species spends most of its time underground and emerges for just a few days each year at the start of the monsoons to breed. The tadpoles are adapted to living in torrents. The purple frog is sadly listed as Endangered and is threatened by deforestation, and consumption and harvesting by local communities. 🌱 Learn more about EDGE species @zsledgeofexistence. . . . . . #100dayproject #the100dayproject2019 #purplefrog #pignosedfrog #edgespecies #amphibian #westernghats #amphibianconservation #biodiversity #herpetology #froggy #frogs #animalillustration #animaldrawings #animaldoodles #dailyartpractice #digitaldoodle #procreateart #carveouttimeforart #makearteveryday #endangeredspecies #sciart #artchallenges #wildwhimsywoolies https://www.instagram.com/wildwhimsywoolies/p/BwmwmArj9y1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1k4wb5iwlt5qe

Join us this afternoon for the next installment in our Ask A Naturalist series. Today we focus on amphibians. Wondering where they have been all winter? What kinds might you see in your neighborhood? Which ones are eaten by birds? How you can help with conservation efforts? Join us at 5:00 to find out! This series is co-hosted with @audubonvermont and the Vermont Reptile and Amphibian Atlas. #amphibians #RedEft #notopthalmusviridescens #AmphibianConservation #CommunityScience #BirdFood #VermontWildlife (at Vermont) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNHucyNB0UJ/?igshid=1u1aukflvdz0s

The glorious Cane Toad, Giant Toad and Marine Toad (Rhinella marina or previously Bufo marinus). This infamous species has been busy extending its world-wide distribution (with our help) to a point verging on #WorldDominance. For almost 100 years, humans have been moving this species around the globe from it’s home range in northern South America. Now it’s an invasive species in Australia, Hawaii and South Florida (probably other places too). It’s devastating impact on natural ecosystems has been well documented and even featured in one of my favorite ‘documentaries’ Cane Toads (1985) (Do yourself a favor and see it if you haven’t yet.) Cane Toads are the perfect invaders. A single female can lay up to 40,000 eggs a year! How many amphibians can do that?? (How much easier our job would be if Flatwoods Salamanders could lay that many eggs!) Not only that, but Cane Toad eggs are toxic! No tasty snacks for animals that normally enjoy frog caviar. Cane Toads are toxic in every life stage. Any animals ‘higher’ in the food web than a Cane Toad are immediately killed by trying to eat the animal. Animals on the same trophic level are easily out competed by an animals that has 10s of thousands of offspring a year. To top if off, Cane Toads eat everything (well, anything they can fit in their mouths). Any ecosystem they invade is eventually ‘cut off at the knees’ That said — They really are also quite charming. The animal in this photograph is #Princess - one of our #ConservationAmbassadors at @amphibianfoundation . She helps us carry the #AmphibianConservation message. She came to us from #ReigningReptiles in Buford as a wonderful donation. #CaneToad #GiantToad #Rhinella #Bufo #Toad #Toads #FrogsOfInstagram #ToadsOfInstagram (at The Amphibian Foundation, Inc)

Hey guys! Check out my research and this new grant I just got!

A beautiful and Near Threatened species endemic to Northern Borneo: the slender litter frog (Leptolalax gracilis). It lives in tropical moist forest close to little streams and its population is decreasing mainly because of habitat loss. #leptolalax #megophrydae #picoftheday #herping #herpingtheglobe #conservation #iucn #iucnredlist #amphibianconservation #borneo #malaysia @ilcp_photographers https://www.instagram.com/p/ChG1rNGPzk8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Being in Costa Rica means I could find some of the iconic species and morphs of frogs that live here. One is surely the amazing “blue-jeans” morph of the Strawberry poison dart frog (Oophaga pumilio). I choose to shoot it with my special custom built lens based on the Laowa 85mm ultra macro and a cctv lens. #oophaga #oophagapumilio #frog #dendrobatidae #costarica #puravida #amphibianconservation #amphibian #picofday #picoftheday @ilcp_photographers https://www.instagram.com/p/CgUJ44NAdsm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A portrait of a captive bred reticulated glassfrog (Hyalinobatrachium valerioi) from a private keeper. This species is one of the most transparent glass frogs around and it almost appears surreal. But it’s a living beauty with a beating heart and a wonderful life to be discovered. I dream going back to Panama or reaching Costa Rica to see this species in the wild! #amphibian #valerioi #hyalinobatrachium #glassfrog #herps #panama #costarica #green #transparent #beautiful #pictureoftheday #picoftheday #amphibianconservation #conservation https://www.instagram.com/p/CTOtKNdq0Je/?utm_medium=tumblr
