Fourth day in a row I've opened the back door of my vehicle and found a tree frog!!! I don't understand how they're getting in there or why. It's different ones too. #treefrog

The tree frog was back inside the door of my vehicle again! It's so freaking cute. #treefrog

hi ♡

Gray #treeFrog ?

You're not chill enough I bet. Here's 44 minutes of window sill-recorded rain, thunder, birds, and treefrogs from #Stillwater, #Oklahoma. We had an amazingly cool, still, rainy morning on Aug. 11, 2024: here it is raw and unedited. Aaaah.

"the type locality of the species, #MountSlamet, is not currently included in #Indonesia’s system of protected areas, making the new species fragile and vulnerable to exploitation... #Conservation efforts and a well-structured conservation management plan involving collaboration among stakeholders and local communities are needed."

"It is diagnosed from its close relatives by a unique combination of characteristics, including hypertrophied forelimbs in males... digital discs colored in shades of orange-red or bright-red, and the concealed surfaces of limbs displaying a bluish-gray hue"
