day 1421

#uh just a heads up if you expand the tags to see all there's. a lot. very long #amphibian #frog #poison dart frog #based on my most popular frog to date (day 651)#inspired by everyone pointing out what they think it looks like #here's a fun secret fact the original guy is actually a phantasmal poison dart frog (Epipedobates tricolor)#(according to the original artists title of the drawing)#not Anthony's poison arrow frog (Epipedobates anthonyi)#i feel too awkward to really point it out though because they look the exact same. i cannot tell if there is a difference #im half convinced the same frog was just discovered and named twice #its very curious btw if you go on the (english) wikipedia page for either species it doesn't mention the other #while hereptiles.info (no idea if this is a trustworthy site) lists both names as common names for the same frog (incorrectly??)#while inaturalist lists them as two different frogs. curiously with tricolor having wayyyyy fewer photos #ok anyway that's my rant i went on a whole journey trying to figure out if these are the same frog or not and i have no answer #i did some more 'research' and i am more confused. some sources seem to imply they are now considered the same species ( e. tricolor)#i think my conclusion is i am willing to agree the drawing looks more like e. anthonyi. it seems like tricolor is generally less vibrant re #and the white is darker and more green?#i feel like thumblr should stop me from typing more in the tags at this point this is a whole essay #at this point i am failry convinced this is specifically the Santa Isabel frog. isthat the real subspecies or morph or whatever #or just the name pet sites are using to sell it??#i even found some sources (frog selling websites) refering to it as “Epipedobates Anthonyi 'Santa Isabel' Phantasmal Poison Dart Frog” lol #Anyways if you read this far hi. species are confusing. i am not a frog scientist #the first few tags are like an hour old now i just kept trying to figure it out and adding more tags

Turns out I lied. Not just gonna be doing quick sketches. Today's theme needed colour, so while this is still majority pencil tool, I used it more like a paintbrush.

Amphibiuary Day 02: Red.

Drew an Anthony's poison arrow frog. Sort of. The anatomy is all off but at least the colours are there

Creature Awaits #238

Each week I plan to feature an amazing creature, admiring God's fantastic artistry. Hopefully it’ll brighten someone’s day to see something new and interesting if they haven’t seen it before. : )

We continue this year's Christmas-time theme…"Peppermint" where we'll feature beautiful animals sporting Red and White. : )

The Anthony's Poison Arrow Frog

Scientific Name: Epipedobates anthonyi

Region: The western border between Equador and Peru

Size: Only about 0.7"-1" (~19mm-26mm) long

Interesting Notes: The female of this tiny, peppermint-colored frog will lay her eggs under leaves on the forest floor. The male will then guard them for two weeks until they hatch into tadpoles, and then will carry them on his back to the water they will live in until emerging as fully grown frogs two months later.
