The River Thug - Phrynoidis juxtasper

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

How Are you all creative friends? I hope you're always productive and still get healthy

What do you think of when the words frogs are mentioned? Funny? Cute? Obviously not, although some animal lovers find these animals adorable. However, if you see a river frog whose body is full of disgusting bumps and its skin feels rough and sometimes sticky, you will definitely stay away from it and even touch it you are reluctant.

But on this occasion I will share a picture of a frog that I took when I played in the river, this frog is a giant river frog Phrynoidis juxtasper. This frog can grow up to 122mm for the male and 215mm for the female, wow very big isn't it?. This frog's skin is dark brown and covered in warts which are poisonous to the touch as a protection against the frog. This frog is spread on the islands of Kalimantan and Sumatra as its distribution habitat.

When I tried to approach him to take a picture, he didn't even budge even when I was so close to him that I could see the breath on his nose vibrating. And these are some pictures that I took with the frog, I hope you like it...
