Day 43 Creatures

I went to the forest and took lots of pics (see, over 200 since yesterday's entry). I saw the biggest frogs (or maybe they're toads) I've seen in Japan, much larger than the frogs that emanate from the rice paddies.
Flash.

It seems that it is an Eastern Japanese common toad, Azuma Hikigaeru (Bufo japonicus formosus). It's also called a mountain toad. It seems that there are only five species of toad in Japan.

Great DOF & some really nice colors! I would say this is definitely a toad (but I could be wrong!). Really nice detail!

Wonderful shot. Great detail, not only the frog/toad/prince, but in the foreground too.

FABULOUS detail on this interesting-looking guy. The red on his skin, the bumps -- even the cleft in his lip -- all so nice and sharp and vivid! Great capture. (looks like a toad to me, but what do I know -- I thought possums were rodents.)

This is really cool; he doesn't look so happy. I like how he's looking directly at the camera.
