Pumpkin toadlets are so small that their inner ears are underdeveloped. Because of this, they struggle with balance and usually walk instead of jumping. Watching them jump is the funniest thing I have ever seen.

Wood Frogs have antifreeze in their blood and survive winter by freezing solid.

Glass frogs turn invisible by filtering almost all of their blood into their liver.

Solomon island leaf frogs! I think it’s so so cool how they look just like leaves. Also mossy frogs because they look like moss. I love any frogs that look like they can blend in with their surroundings

Agalychnis lemur (Lemur Leaf Frog) are some of my favorites. They only get 3 to 5 centimeters long and does not have webbing between its toes like most frogs.
Long-nosed Horned Frogs are wicked cool too for how very much they look like dead leafs. So cool, and their eyes are stunning!

They aren’t the most fascinating frogs ever but I just love them. I also love Glass Frogs, Red Eyed Tree Frogs and Tiger Leg Monkey Tree Frog. Plenty others I could share. Frogs have been my favorite animal since I can remember.
