These surreal frog and toad photos look like they're from a sci-fi movie, but are real examples of these amphibians' diversity. These unusual animals are found almost everywhere around the world, and range in size from a tiny 7.7 mm (0.3 inches) to the goliath frog's whopping 32 cm (12.6 inches).
The world frog population is in rapid decline, and over 1/3 of all frog species are threatened with extinction. Many scientists believe that these weird animals are a good biological indicator of broader ecosystem health, which means we might have something to worry about. So if you want future generations to be able to enjoy such beauty, do your part—be mindful of the amphibians. Every colorful frog and common toad counts in keeping the ecosystems healthy.

Did you know this is actually a close up of a bead of sweat that fell off Chuck Norris?
Cuban Tree Frog Eating A Lightbulb
It would cook it from the inside out... something tells me this was staged
Load More Replies...You could be too if you knew how to swallow a lightbulb :))
Load More Replies...Magical perhaps, but dangerous. I hope it didn't end up getting electrocuted!
I find that upsetting - most of those lights have a lead poisoning warning on them if you read that little paper...
What a horrible photo. I find it hard to imagine that a frog would attempt to swallow a hot, non-moving object willingly. I'm sickened to see this sort of abuse on here.

This frog looks like something in between Amphibians and Reptiles. It's like the missing link between them.

This looks like the same frog from #14, just with some colour manipulation thrown in.
Atelopus Frog
This is called a (purple) Harlequin Toad (Atelopus barbotini). They come in many colors but purple is amazing! Also, they are actually considered to be toads not frogs. And they are poisonous.

If it's abuse,prove it. Where's the photos of the photographer taking away the animals in boxes,as you said in a previous comment? Sounds like you don't like pictures of frogs.
A 300lb Black Rain Frog would definitely be a fun pet to see the reactions from MMA thuglife wannabe Pit Bull owners in the neighborhood. YO--------------------------------------SUP?
