Hi! Love your blog and your work! What do you know about these guys? Are false eyes common in amphibians?

Yeah false eyes are really quite common in amphibians. We normally call them inguinal spots, which is a fancy way of saying hip spots. They show up in hundreds of species across numerous families. Few are quite as developed as Physalaemus nattereri, but e.g. Plethodontohyla ocellata is also pretty impressive.

Dawn!!!!!!! Your amphibian companion of choice (the choice being mine) ISSSSSSSSSSS:

THE CUYABA DWARF FROG!!!!!

(Physalaemus nattereri)

This frog is super cool and I chose it cuz you’re super into TMA rn. It’s got eyespots!! When it’s relaxed they’re practically hidden in between their back and legs but when they are frightened they arch their back and the eyes flare out! It’s surprisingly realistic. This frog is only 3-4 cm in size, but it’s got a massive set of peepers •-• you can find this funky guy in southeastern Brazil, eastern Bolivia, and Paraguay! Besides having the eyespots I also really like how squiggly their patterns are C: hope you like your frog!! :D

NICE NICENICE funky little frog!!!!!!! Little eye boy light of my life amphibian hell yeah!!! wet slimy peeper child!!!!

The Cuyaba Dwarf Frog (Physalaemus nattereri) is a small frog native to SE Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay, that uses the eye spots on its back end as a defensive display. They are only 2 inches long (SVL).

Encontramos essa rãzinha (Physalaemus sp.) no meio de uma das estradas de chão no complexo florestal que engloba a Reserva Biológica de Sooretama. Ainda bem que vimos a pequeninha antes de passar com o carro.

Spooktober Boo!

Cuyaba Dwarf Frog (Physalaemus nattereri or Eupemphix nattereri)-

This little frog is a common find in the ponds and grasslands of Brazil, Paraguay and Brazil.

Their main defense is the black spots on their rear ends. They can posture and inflate their bodies to make these eye spots look massive, and dissuade predators from approaching. If intimidation fails, the eye spots also contain macroglands (passive glands that activate via blood pressure levels) that secrete a foul tasting, milky toxin.

After rainfall, the maller males will group together and beep in chorus to attract females. Together, they will produce a foamy nest of thousands of eggs that can be shared with other pairs.
