Description While hiking with my camera, I noticed this male grass frog relaxing on the edge of a small pond. It was 85 degrees and sunny, and he didn't seem to mind my presence at all. I had to lay on my stomach to get down to his angle. I was covered with mud afterward, but I think it was worth it .

What a hilarious looking frog! My daughter and I love frogs, her fav being the red eyed green tree frog (I think that's what it's called!) but this fellow has quite a pointy snout! We don't have these in Australia, I'm sure!

Seems he may be 'sussing' you out too! Lovely shades of green.
