I have a new favorite animal: the Solomon Island Leaf Frog. Why are they cool? Well, for one, they have leaf-like (leafy?) features, which allows them to camouflage in trees and on forest floors. Any animal that can camouflage is pretty awesome. Secondly, they completely skip the tadpole phase and emerge out of their eggs as tiny, fully-formed frogs. They’re the only frog species that does that. Itty bitty frogs that can hop around on your palm a.k.a “froglets”?! Friggin’ adorable!

A couple of pictures of the frog fully grown:

Thanks to Tad 20D for the photo!

By the way… I’m trying to keep this blog going, I really am. I’m just busy with RL stuff, so please bear with me.
