Animal Creation Magnifies Jehovah: Day 5

[daydream]

Day 5  “God proceeded to create the great sea monsters and every living soul that moves about, which the waters swarmed forth according to their kinds, and every winged flying creature according to its kind.”

Feel free to mix up the categories from Day 5 and 6, if you feel so inclined. To be lazy that is.  No hard and fast rules here.

It’s a sea slug that looks like a tiny dragon!

Red-eyed tree frog at the Miller Park Zoo. These frogs sit completely still all day long and blend in with the surrounding leaves. They have the ability to change the green tint of their skin to make it harder for predators to see them

I met one in 2015 😁

Wow, where did you meet that creature? Did you just pick it off a tree?

<Many scientists believe the red-eyed tree frog developed its vivid scarlet peepers to shock predators into at least briefly questioning their meal choice!  

Colorful Adaptations

These iconic rain-forest amphibians sleep by day stuck to leaf-bottoms with their eyes closed and body markings covered. When disturbed, they flash their bulging red eyes and reveal their huge, webbed orange feet and bright blue-and-yellow flanks. This technique, called startle coloration, may give a bird or snake pause, offering a precious instant for the frog to spring to safety.>

Ok, you were walking around in the dark. 

It looked so cute and friendly. I think it is trying to shock you into letting him jump away.

No, I didn´t pick it off a tree….But it was sleeping under a leave in Costa Rica, where we spent our vacation in 2015. The woman who showed us around had seen it sleeping and woke it up so we could enjoy this beautiful animal for some minutes. If I had been there alone, I wouldn´t have seen it - and even IF I would have seen it, I wouldn´t have known it is a frog, because when it sleeps it looks like this:

 

 

 

But after it woke up it looked like this:

Amazing creature! Poor chap got roused from his slumber and he didn't look one bit annoyed. A long-suffering frog.

Yes, first I felt guilty because poor frogy was woken up... but it seemed to like the photo shooting 

And after 10 minutes we let the poor guy sleep again.

Dreamin' of donuts. Somewhere in Java.
