This little frog really is a striking shade of blue! His way of telling the world: "I am poisonous, don't eat me!" Despite that, he was quite shy and retiring, and I never got a really good shot of him. This one is at least tolerable. This is a zoo shot, and there was glass between me and the subject.

Yes, with that type of coloring he would have to be poisonous or have two inch fangs in order to survive in the wild!

Man does this little guy ever stand out, and a very cool shot of him too!!

Thanks for posting this one Mike.

This is outrageous!

You were probably glad to have the glass in the way for once...

Cool shot. They look so cute you just want to pick them up. I guess that wouldn't be a good idea.
