Camouflage

 

This little creature - sleeping quietly in its tank at the Atlanta Botanical Garden - looked almost alien.  Three or four inches long he was well disguised against the leaf.

He was, apparently,  a Fringed Leaf frog - a nocturnal frog, well camouflaged to protect them from being eaten by preadators while they sleep on leaves during the day.
