A Malabar gliding frog rests on a yam-footed plant. Blending into the layered greens around it, the frog becomes part of the habitat, showcasing how these amphibians use colour and form to stay hidden.

Often find #frogs in the water reservoir on top of my Greenstalk planter. This one had its own surfboard, Cowabunga dude.

The Alaskan wood frog freezes solid in winter with no heartbeat, no blood flow, or no breathing, and then thaws in spring alive as if nothing happened.

Once tadpoles lose lungs, they never get them back https://phys.org/news/2025-10-tadpoles-lungs.html https://academic.oup.com/evolut/advance-article-abstract/doi/10.1093/evolut/qpaf192/8296690

"all #frogs have lungs, so #tadpoles retain the genetics to regain lungs when environmental pressures might favor having them but instead evolve alternate solutions... The lungless African red #toad lives in low oxygen waters, and while redeveloping lungs might seem like the obvious solution, these tadpoles have instead evolved a crest of vascularized skin on top of their heads"

Lots of pictures of frogs and other creatures coming from Portland, USA, recently.
Apart from the fun, lots of esteem and respect for those activists using their bodies and creativity to take the mask off politicians, who cry about supposed violence and crime in the streets to legitimate violent repression of protests.
Non-violence done perfectly!

I've seen an AI parody of the Obama "Hope" poster going around featuring #PortlandFrog and I decided that I should make a non-AI version (left). This is also under #cc0 ( #publicdomain ) so feel free to use it however you wish.
