Framed Print of Surinam Toad
This large aquatic frog from the Amazon Basin is a Surinam Toad (Pipa pipa). This species can be deciphered from its closest living relative, Pipa snethlageae, by the presence of a black line dissecting the middle of its ventral surface. These cryptic frogs look like dead leaves. This helps them blend into the leaf litter covering the bottom of the waterways where they are found. Females carry their eggs on their backs. The eggs sink into a special spongy tissue and are concealed from view shortly after being placed on the females dorsum by the male. Fully formed froglets hatch out and swim out of the special spongy skin. These frogs have special structures on their fingertips that detect electrical fields produced by prey items. These organs look like small star-shaped structures on each finger tip. For this reason, these frogs are sometimes called star-fingered toads. This individual was photographed in 2007. © Dante Fenolio / Science Source

A delicate balance of nature is captured in these prints of the Surinam Toad. The ventral surface features a distinctive black line, separating it from its closest relative. Camouflaged to perfection, this aquatic frog blends seamlessly into its surroundings. Its unique appearance allows it to remain hidden among the leaf litter that covers the waterways where it resides. Females carry their eggs on their backs, which then sink into a special spongy tissue for concealment. Fully formed froglets emerge and swim out of this protective skin after hatching. These remarkable frogs possess specialized structures on their fingertips that detect electrical fields produced by prey items - small star-shaped organs visible at each finger tip.
