An African Foam-nest Tree Frog (Chiromantis rufescens) posed on a branch

My friend Kurt spotted a white foamy blob in a tree overhanging a large puddle on a dirt road, which caused him to look for the creator of the blob. And there she was, a couple of feet away.

Razor sharp and with glorious soft light, top shot!
Thank you for some of the first photos from Ghana on the platform. How was it there? Posted 7 years ago

  Thanks Ferdy! Ghana was very enjoyable, full of nice people, interesting food, and wildlife I hadn't seen before. We stayed in the forest areas so we didn't see any of the classic big African mammals that live up in the savanna areas in the north. Lots of frogs and bugs, a decent number of lizards, and a few snakes. Posted 7 years ago

The African foam-nest tree frog

The African foam-nest tree frog or western foam-nest tree frog is a species of frog found in the tropical rainforests of Central Africa. The species has been found in nations ranging from Uganda to Sierra Leone, and has been found on the island of Bioko in Equatorial Guinea. It is likely to live in other nations in the region too, such as Angola but no scientific sightings have been recorded.

This species builds nests of foam above temporary pools and other water bodies.
