Gephyromantis ceratophrys 6 - top view, closeup Ranomafana, Madagascar

This is getting a little ridiculous, the 6th frog in a row that turns out to be the same species, despite looking quite different from the others.

    How did you identify the frogs? Posted 6 years ago

      I went by the advise of Dr Mark D. Scherz, a specialist in MDG frogs. He just mentioned he saw a few older misidentified ones on our platform so awaiting that. These are freshly identified though.
      
      Do you disagree with this ID? Posted 6 years ago

        I do not disagree, was just curious. Dr. Scherz is definitely a world-class expert on Madagascar frogs, that's great that he helped you out. He has helped me with some IDs in the past as well. Have you heard his podcast? It's very entertaining, while being very nerdly simultaneously: http://squamatespod.com Posted 6 years ago

        Will check that one out later, I have long commutes so plenty of time for podcasts!
        And yes, he seems quite the authority. The list of corrections he has sent spans a few dozen wrong ones. In particular those from our visit 7 years ago had lots of issues.
        
        But of course, 7 years ago I was not the man I am today. Ahem. Posted 6 years ago
