How to tell Betty and Angus apart! (While they are still growing!)

If you look closely in their corner of their mouths, Angus has One White Freckle and Betty has a White Freckle Line!

Betty has a patch of Side Freckles, and Angus has several Butt Freckles!

Apologies I am not here to ask you anything. I was just hoping you’d appreciate this lil moist fellow with me.

Ruthven's Rocket Frog ("Colostethus" ruthveni), family Dendrobatidae, Magdalena, Colombia

It is not well understood if this species should actually remain in this genus, or is more closely related to other genera, thus the quotation marks.

Though it is in the "poison dart frog" family, this species, and other cryptically colored rocket frogs are not significantly toxic, though some species may be moderately toxic.

Spotted Litter Frog (Leptobrachium hendricksoni), STANCED!!!, family Megophryidae, Selangor, Malaysia

Caatinga Horned Frog (Ceratophrys joazeirensis) metamorph, family Ceratophryidae, endemic to Brazil

Saw a beautiful horned lizard today on a hike, I've never seen one with such a striking peachy color before. Did you know that horned lizards are nicknamed "Cheii," or grandpa, by the Navajo people?

It's also Indigenous People's Day, so I'm taking it as a sign to recommend my favorite horned lizard artist, Daniel Josley (web/instagram) if you followed me for desert critters please go check his work out!

River Frog (Lithobates heckscheri), family Ranidae, found in the SE United States

The above individual was handled under permit for a scientific study, and was released after capture.
