A little trip south of my usual stomping grounds, and a few more species spotted and checked off the list.

Buergeria robusta, or the robust Buerger's frog. Comes in many colours, but I especially like the yellow.



Buergeria japonica. This comes in a similar range of colours to B. robusta, but is quite a bit smaller. Notable for being able to tolerate hot springs water, and can be found in temperatures of up to 40 degrees C (104 F for Americans and older Brits). Not really a tree frog, but a member of Rhacophoridae, so I'm including it here anyway. Don't be angry.



Finally a snap of a bamboo stump containing what I assume to be the tadpoles of Kurixalus eiffingeri. Do I get to check this one off the list? I don't think so ... I'll keep on looking for adults, but it's proving a challenge. A species notable for laying eggs in bamboo stumps, cracks of trees, etc, and then exhibiting parental care: the father guards the eggs until they hatch, and the mothor visits the tadpoles and feeds them unfertilized eggs. Awww!


I have a few more pictures in the other thread mentioned above (a narrow-mouth and salamander). Don't know why I bothered splitting these posts into tree frogs and other amphibians ... perhaps because growing up in the UK, tree frogs seem especially exotic and interesting to me!

Thanks for looking!
