Frog man frog me a frog Make it the cutest that I’ve ever froged What is your favorite frog?
I am a very big fan of the incredibly stunning Boophis bottae
Tumblr media
But honestly, my favourite frog may be Plethodontohyla guentheri, which has made a very bold fashion choice and is really nailing it.
Tumblr media
And second favourite would then be Rhombophryne testudo for extremely obvious reasons.

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.
