What's your favorite frog?

oophaga pumilio!!! they’ve always been my fav ever since i’ve started learning abt frogs

they’re sweet little babies

today's funky (AND SPHERICAL) frog of the day is: the blunt-headed burrowing frog (Glyphoglossus molossus)!!! can we just appreciate how fun that scientific name is for a moment? these frogs, also known as the balloon frog, are found in several southeast asian countries and are known for their large size and interesting shape.

Green Frogs vs. Bullfrogs: What’s the Difference?

With the warmer weather really starting to kick in, it’s finally frog season! With this in mind, I’ve decided to make a post about distinguishing between green frogs and bullfrogs. These species are two of the most often mixed up species in America, and it’s an easy mistake to make. There are several ways to destinguish these species from one another, but here I’ll be highlighting, in my experience, the most easy way to tell.

This here is a green frog. As you can see, two dorsolateral ridges run down the frog’s back (the two raised lines of skin on either side).

As for this bullfrog, no such ridges are present. Their backs are completely smooth! Another difference is that bullfrogs tend to be larger than green frogs, but this isn’t always the case. I hoped this helped! Have fun :)

today's funky frog of the day: the great plains narrow mouthed toad (Gastrophryne olivacea)!!! these very cute and pointy friends live in the southern and central united states. they're also known as the western narrow mouthed toad. (x)

Idk why, but seeing my frogs' butts never fails to bring me joy

i feel like tiktok has caused a LOT of people to forget the universal rule of “if you can’t identify it, don’t touch it”

I bought a frog toy from a charity shop and why is he so thick? Who gave him such a dumptruck juicy ass? Who did this?

I've made an amazing discovery. (that was technically made by some other people almost a decade ago) Frog lovers, meet Paedophryne Amauensis.

ONE OF THE SMALLEST KNOWN VERTEBRATES.

frogs are amazing animals. despite their fragile appearance and inoffensive ways, they have countless strategies to deal with the most severe climates this planet has to offer. they can be found at the arctic circle, in deserts, in tropical rain forests and practically everywhere in between. some of their survival strategies are nothing short of ingenious. various frog species use two strategies to deal with environmental extremes: hibernation and estivation.
