Bornean Chorus Frog – Life in the Pitcher

The dark, wet rainforests of Borneo provide the perfect habitat for amphibians. The problem for an amphibian fanatic and photographer like me is finding them in these huge, dense jungles. The search becomes even more difficult when the frog that you are looking for is one of the smallest frogs on the planet – The Bornean Chorus Frog (Microhyla nepenthicola), or Bornean Narrow-mouthed Frog. While this species of chorus frog is attractive, if you like that sort of thing, you might wonder why I had a particular interest in seeing it. What is special about a little brown frog? Well, this little brown frog has a secret lifestyle. If you are going to be tiny, soft and potentially a tasty meal for just about everything in the jungle then you had better have some tricks to keep your species alive. Nepenthicola’s trick is its breeding habit. Rather than risking the hazards of the big pond, nepenthicola has learned to utilize the tiny pools that form in a pitcher plant with which it shares its name – Flask-shaped Pitcher Plant (Nepenthes ampullaria)...

La Loma Robber Frog (Pristimantis caryophyllaceus), mother guarding eggs, family Strabomantidae, Costa Rica

Mothers lay eggs on leaves and then brood them under their bodies. The offspring go through the tadpole stage in the egg, and then hatch out as froglets. * This is possible, because their rain forest habitats are so humid, and wet.

Fast Fauna Facts #28 - Horned Land Frog (Sphenophryne cornuta)

Family: Narrowmouth Frog Family (Microhylidae)

IUCN Conservation Status: Least Concern

As its name suggests the Horned Land Frog differs from almost all other amphibians in that it doesn't require a water source to breed; females of this species lay their eggs among damp leaf litter, and following external fertilization a male will guard the eggs until they hatch. Instead of beginning life as aquatic tadpoles young Horned Land Frogs hatch as tiny but otherwise fully-developed frogs complete with functional limbs and lungs, and for a short period following their hatching they will continue to be protected by their father (often riding on his back until they're large enough to fend for themselves.) Endemic to the island of New Guinea, Horned Land Frogs primarily inhabit rainforests (although they may also be found in other forest habitats and occasionally in urban areas) and are mainly active at night, spending the day sheltering beneath logs and rocks or buried under leaf litter.

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

The tadpoles of this species are capable of over-wintering through up to 2 winters, and overwintering tadpole get rather large, growing up to 97 mm (3.8 in). 

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

Chat I am drawing the new tadpole I just have a lot to do

[tadpoles-yay]

Chat

Fossil tadpole dropped earlier today

You know what that means

[tadpoles-yay]

The shape of a fish's caudal tail can tell you a lot about how fast the fish moves! A rounded tail is the slowest and a lunate tail is the fastest! The lunate tail has the most optimal ratio of high thrust and low draw, making it the fastest.
