I have a soft spot for a #GrouchyFrog. If it's also a #RoundFrog like this one, then I just can't stand it. This baby #AfricanBullfrog has already bitten me once, and has doubled its size in a week. We are growing a group of these charmers for #CritterCamp this summer. #AmphibiousAF (at The Amphibian Foundation) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsofCjZgSaj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jyjmr8coqwpx

A lovely Spring Peeper from our education collection. Peepers have been a big hit this year on Frog Day for #CritterCamp. We love getting kids excited about our awesome native amphibians — #Peeper #SpringPeeper #Pseudacris (at The Amphibian Foundation)

Another species we have the privilege of working with and breeding at the @AmphibianFoundation, is the Blue-side Leaf Frog — Agalychnis annae. A spectacular #phyllomedusine (or Leaf Frog), this frog is a #CriticallyEndangered species with populations still declining in the wild. I got particularly lucky with this shot, as this species rarely stays still. This species clearly bears a resemblance to its cousin, the Red-eyed Leaf Frog (Agalychnis callidryas) but it’s not nearly as easy to breed A. annae in captivity. In the wild, these two Central American species are #sympatric but as A. annae continues to decline, the species are moving toward #allopatry. #Agalychnis #Agalychnisannae #YellowEyedLeafFrog #BlueSidedLeafFrog #Phyllomedusinae #Hylidae #TreeFrog #LeafFrog #AmphibianConservation #AmphibianConservationProgram #FrogsNeedOurHelp #EndangeredSpecies #RacingExtinction #EndExtinction #FrogsOfInstagram #frogs #frog #ribbit #CaptiveBreeding #CaptiveBred #ExSitu #InSitu #CaptiveAssuranceColony #CaptiveBreedingColony #Mandica #CritterCamp #Critter-Camp #AmphibianFoundation #TheAmphibianFoundation

Critically Endangered Roti Snake-neck Turtle from southern Indonesia — These adorable turtles have been donated to the Amphibian Foundation by the Turtle Conservancy to strengthen our education and outreach programs like #CritterCamp We are so grateful for the opportunity to work with this incredible species.
