I wanted to use my frogposting today to talk about the frogs and toads of palestine!
bufotes viridis, the european green toad, can be found across gaza and the west bank (and also a bunch of europe and north africa!) [📷 peter kaufman]
hyla savignyi, the levantine tree frog, can also be found throughout palestine and is very small (only about 4cm long!) [📷 zeynel cebici]
rana ridibunda, the marsh frog, which is also the largest frog in europe! a real frog’s frog [📷 quartl]
pelophylax esculentus, the pool frog (pictured here very much In The Soup Or Perhaps Spinch), this is the one that they make frog legs with and is found in the dead sea and galilee [📷 tuxyso]
pelobates syriacus, the eastern spadefoot toad, is a threatened species in palestine but is common in places like turkiye and iran [📷 f.c. robiller]

European Green Toad: Found in central-Eastern Europe, this toad changes colour in response to external stimuli such as light or temperature changes. They’re very tolerant of various habitats ranging from forests to deserts and spawning in both fresh and salt water. In fact, they can withstand temperatures of up to 40C and lose 50% of their body’s water before dying. This adaptability has led them to be widespread in developed areas as well.
Golden Tree Frog: Currently the only species in their genus, they were separated from Phyllodytes in 2008 due to behavioural and genetic differences. Found in the high mountains of Trinidad and Venezuela, they lay their eggs in a specific species of bromeliad that remains host to the tadpoles. Males have fangs that they will use in combat for territory.

Il rospo smeraldino
Un rospo smeraldino (Bufotes viridis) davanti alla porta di casa. Era solo e stava zitto. Forse aspettava che si avvicinassero insetti da mangiare...
È più piccolo del rospo comune (Bufo bufo), raggiunge al massimo i 10 cm, restando più frequentemente attorno ai 7 cm. La colorazione è variabile: marrone, o bianco con chiazze verde smeraldo. Frequentemente sul dorso si notano, come in questo caso, dei puntini rossastri. Le ghiandole parotoidi si trovano, come nel rospo comune, sul collo, ma sono più allungate. Rispetto al rospo comune frequenta ambienti più umidi e più caldi. Si nutre di insetti, lombrichi e tutto quello che riesce a catturare. Il rospo smeraldino è in grado di emettere un richiamo piuttosto forte, simile al trillo dei grilli; durante il periodo riproduttivo i maschi "cantano" in gruppi numerosi, come le rane verdi.

hi!
look at a frog (toad? i think?) i saw :]
Excellent frog! Highly fashionable. Green spots are very in.
Yes, this looks like it may be Bufotes viridis, the green toad, although a location would be very helpful to narrow it down.

FROG TIME!!
This times frog is

The European green toad!!
(Technically a toad but im out of interesting frogs so just go with it)
The European green toad(Bufotes viridis) is a type of toad found in Europe, from eastern fr*nce to western russia, The European green toad(which i will now call Buford) lives in habitats such as, steppes, mountains, semi-deserts(idek what that is), and urban areas.
The spots on Bufords usually vary from green to dark brown, sometimes red, and sometimes the whole frog will change colour in response to heat and light.
Bufords usually grow to a max of 10cm, but getting this big is rare.
This has been your randomly prescribed suprise frog toad.
TOAD!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
