thank you
flutters, richie, lis, klippies, alf and harrys.....
one morning after heavy overnight rains
there was a spot on the H1-7 near boyela
where hundreds of these tiny frogs
were all crossing the road and heading in an easterly
direction......
needless to say many never made it
diarrhea road.....
i think the short tailed look
is the fashion for trendy zebra
for this autumn's season

leachy, you do also see froggies
Tremolo Sand Frogs start breeding after rains and often there are many of them. Maybe heading to a pan or puddle?
They are tiny, 3-5 cm, mottled brown, grey, reddish and have pale stripes down the back. Between the shoulders is a lighter patch.
Do you agree?

Oh is that the full-sized frog?
Interesting studies again, leachy!

Nearly stepped on one of those frogs at Lower Sabie once....they are so so tiny and hard to see at night.

thanks klippies, richie, alf, flutters, peter and lisbeth....
this tusker was seen regularly
around letaba..
from the side he seems rather average..
.
however from behind one can see how
wide his tusks protrude beyond his torso
reminds me of the rear-view mirrors on luxury coaches....
