THE COMPETITORS

After hours of filtering, I have a list! From 411 submisstions to 134 competitors. Of course, that means that not all the submissions are competing. My main rule for filtering was that when many similar animals were submitted, one was selected. This means that even if your submission din't get in, there is likely somthing else similar you can vote for instead! I'm hoping to get the polls out this Saturday or Sunday, and I'll post the time once it's decided. That being said... here's the list!

[ID: a tarsier leaf frog sitting on a leaf. Its top side is a very bright green and its underbelly is white. There are bumps on its sides where the green meets the white and its legs are very long with light brown toes. Its eyes are black and red-orange and it is looking down with a pensive-appearing expression. /End ID]
