Barred Monkey Frog (Callimedusa tomopterna) striking a pose

These frogs tend to walk slowly when they move, and this one was walking at minimal speed (that is, motionless) when I spotted it. It held this position while we took photos for a few minutes, and was still in this position when we left.

  Definitely some good-looking frogs in this group. They used to be in genus Phyllomedusa. Posted 5 months ago, modified 5 months ago
