The Malayan Leaf Frog Lives Up to Its Name

The Malayan leaf frog, a.k.a long-nosed horned frog, is one of the most remarkable creatures on Earth, at least in terms of natural camouflage.

We’ve featured some truly impressive masters of camouflage in the past, from the dead leaf butterfly to a plant that evolved to mimic the rocky terrain it grows on, but the Malayan leaf frog is definitely up there with the best of them.

As an ambush hunter that waits for unsuspecting prey to cross its path, this amphibian needs to remain unnoticed for as long as possible, and what better way to do that than blend into the leaf-covered forest floor it calls home? Its unique physical features make it almost impossible to visually detect in its natural habitat

Featuring triangular horn or leaf-like projections extending over each eye and its nose, as well as the brown color of dead leaves, complete with the veins and patterns of a leaf, the Malayan leaf frog can easily be mistaken for a dead leaf on the forest floor.''

Except when calling, these amazing frogs do a great job blending in with their surroundings, which helps them to both capture unsuspecting prey, as well as avoid predators.





Researchers have reported on the difficulty of spotting leaf frogs during the day, as they tend to hide among dead leaves and stay perfectly still. The exact opposite is true at night, though, as light from flashlights easily reflects from its eyes, giving away its location.

The Malayan leaf frog lives among leaf litter, in the permanently damp and cool lowland rainforests areas of southern Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia to Singapore, Sumatra and Borneo.

Because its habitat covers such a large area, the population of leaf-mimicking frogs is believed to be very large, but deforestation is already considered a big threat to its existence, as it leads to habitat loss.

The pet trade poses a threat to the survival of Malayan leaf frogs as well. The species is very popular with amphibian enthusiasts, and because efforts to reliably breed these frogs in captivity have so far failed, specimens are constantly being taken from the wild.

I truly believe that amidst all of these things both common and uncommon, hidden and unhidden, big and small, useless and useful, beautiful and ugly, there must be a true designer and architect of these marvelous existence for nothing looks here to me by chance -- this is only the work of a true Intelligent Being.

Do you believe the below images you are seeing are actually insects and not leaves?
There are so many creatures that we all have never seen in this life.
These insects are created with exact true leaves, which include some of the most remarkable camouflage leaves.

Nobody.

Amazing. Though It's camouflage nature is not of any advantage to it because one can easily crush it under feet due to it's flat form, thinking its just a mere dead leaf. So it Will still be in its best interest to stay out of the way.


God is wonderful.

Puloc:

Nobody.

If somebody intelligent like that was created by nobody, then other things can be created by nobody too.

You need a microscopic view to know its a frog if you come accross one

Puloc:

Listen to your self man. Does it even make sense to you? To you, the beautiful frog must have been designed by an intelligent designer. So who designed the intelligent designer? Nobody? For real? That means the frog could have also come by itself.

Its somehow beautiful but on second look its looks like a descendant of lucifer...
