This is the last animal we saw on our South African safari, and we found it sitting on top of our conditioner. Thank goodness it wasn't a leopard.
I reckon it's a foamy nest frog, so named for its tendency to lay its eggs into a nest of foamy bubbles overhanging a body of water. I always thought this species had a darker colour but apparently, they become almost white in bright sunlight. Charming little tyke, isn't it?

Love the 1st photo, Ed. You should send it in to Nat. Geo's "Your Shot."
I agree with above. That first shot is great.
Adorbs!! I just found a baby mouse in my living room. Probably not as exciting as that exotic frog but still pretty cute.
Foam (not "foamy") Nest Frog. Otherwise great blog ;)
Even you, you say "thanks godness"!
How astonished I was! I hope very much that Richard Dawkins discovers that too.
Have a very good year.
