Notice anything different about this Map Treefrog (Hypsiboas geographicus)?How about its eyes? How about the different color of each eye? I can't explain the difference, and if anyone out there can shed some light on this, I would appreciate the information.
And yes, I moved the frog from the leaf to the other location. It was done very carefully, with minimal handling to avoid bruising. Amphibians have very delicate skin, and any bruises can encourage entry by parasites or fungi, leading to the death of the frog.
"Primum non nocere" remains the Golden Rule of responsible nature photography--"First, do no harm!"

I've seen this before... Color contacts - tree frog sizing available?
ReplyDeleteVery cool, definitely something unique to see. I really like the out-of-focus green background, I'm glad you relocated your subject.
