This frog-poop (yes, we are not sealed, not a croak, but a poop) is called Theloderma. She has a very interesting way of disguising herself. The texture and color of his skin make it look like a litter. This scares off predators, because no one in their right mind will eat poop!

Such frogs lead a secretive lifestyle, so they do not often catch the eye of researchers. In 1995, an expedition of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences discovered the first theloderms in Indochina, and in 1996, several representatives of the genus Theloderma were placed in the Tula regional exotarium.

The purpose of the removal is to be able to preserve them at least in captivity, since with the high rate of deforestation in Southeast Asia, there is a risk of their complete disappearance.
