The Frog 🐸 of the Week is the Mindanao Fanged Frog (Limnonectes magnus) from the Philippines. The frog doesn't have true fangs / teeth but bony projects that come out of the bottom jaw that is used to hold in prey.

A mottled green and brown frog sitting on piece of wood among green moss. The texture of the frogs skin makes it resemble moss. The frog is looking away from the camera and slightly to the left in the picture.

Lately I’ve been in my fungi appreciation era since it’s winter/fungi season in Northern California 🍄❤️
An illustration of a brown and green pacific tree frog hanging out on a large fly agaric mushroom. The frog has black “eyeliner” markings across the eye and head. The mushroom is a distinctive red with white spots on the cap, with a white stalk. A smaller baby fly agaric is growing next to the large one - they are both emerging out of some damp green moss. They are illustrated on a light blue background.

Our friend the Spiny Slender Toad is a stream toad who lives throughout much of Borneo! They are in genus Ansonia, also known as Stream Toads, because they spawn in fast moving streams and have tadpoles adapted to life in fast-moving water! (photo by Carey Knox Southern Scales)
A slender, very spiny grey toad! They are darker on their back and fading to a lighter color on their belly! Many of their spines have a reddish tint! They are relaxing on a broad green leaf!

Cute frog alert! I don’t know what species this is or whether it’s even native to Florida, but I really like how this photo turned out! 🐸

I will gladly draw all of the frogs as a symbol for the movement, explicitly to take them back from the fuckers who co opted Pepe for their nazi shit.

After ELEVEN YEARS of work, today I finally submitted my 205-page monograph on the diamond frogs of Madagascar, genus Rhombophryne, in which we are describing several new species. Feels so good to finally have it submitted. I can't wait to share the new species with you all! 🧪🐸🟤💎
A gloriously rotund brown frog flecked with burnt umber, resting on a dead leaf. This is the iconic Rhombophryne testudo. He is a thing of beauty.

Been working on the house all day but I popped in for #FrogFriday! A male Tandy's Sand Frog (Tomopterna tandyi) in a small pool in the mostly dry but aptly named Orange River in the Great Karoo, South Africa. Shy little dude would not call with my light on. #herps #frogs #NaturePhotography 🌿
Angled down image of a frog resting in an inch of water and orange silt, facing right. The frog's ground color is a mottling of browns and tans, with a number of dark brown blotches on the body and legs. The eyes are large and bulbous, the irises are gold, and the round pupils are dark black. Fingers and toes are buried in the silt.

After several failed attempts, we finally found a Turtle Frog (Myobatrachus gouldii). Endemic to SW Australia, they only emerge a few nights a year to find mates.

Tried to water the baby asparagus but the spout was blocked so I tried to shove the blockage down into the can but the thing inside shoved back.

Computer…enhance.

A green watering can with its spout blocked by something beige. It’s blocked by a frog! A frog’s face is glaring at me from inside the green watering can.
