    Default First line of defense...Blend in

    ID: Tiger toad

    One of the best behaviour observed while encountering these endemic, critically endangered, species of Tiger toad was that when it becomes uncomfortable due to presence of any unknown thing, in its close proximity, it tries to borrow itself into any of the tightest crevices, irrespective of the size. Here is one example of it, where it tried to flatten itself to hide behind the protrusion of the rock.

    Nice observation. Liked the low angle. The small rock give an idea of its size. Good eye contact. Is that a spider web on the right behind it? Nicely captured. Thanks for sharing.

    Very nice. The rock below is clearly illuminated. I would have preferred more space at the bottom than the top. Thanks for sharing.

    Cheers,
