When Beauty became the Beast

It's in the middle of the night and you can't sleep. You're tossing and turning in bed and it wouldn't make matters any better if you're perspiring profusely too.


So what do you do?





You could..

A) Make friends with someone who, just like you, is awake. It'll be a bonus if he/she is just as curious to know of the littlest things in life. Then, get all paranoid by discussing about creatures that irks you. If the conversation is worth the time, your friend might even do research on that topic!

or...

B) Go to Stumble Upon! (This is not a paid advertisement. I just love this site a lot.)


This is a fantastic site that is sure to remove boredom from your life. Not only do they have articles, they have videos, photos and many more! With articles ranging from Arts to Sports you'll definitely find an interest in one of the 12 categories and might even lose yourself when you venture off into the sub-categories of each one!


And better yet, if you do sign up as a member (it's free) and fill in your interests, they'll even send 'recommended sites'(based on your interest) to your email, so that you need not go through the hassle of finding articles you are interested in.


Anyway, being bored as usual, I decided to check out on frogs (don't bother asking why frogs got my interest) and was I amazed of the vibrant colours the poisonous ones had!

But then curiosity got the better of me and I coundn't control my hands. I had to click on the freaky and weird ones, and this is what I got:

(Let's start with the decent ones shall we?)





This is a Cruziohyla calcarifer.










This is a Pouched Frog (Assa darlingtoni)









These are Argus Reed Frog or African Reed Frog (Hyperolius argus)














This is a Heterixalus alboguttatus











These are Argentine Horned Frog (Ceratophrys ornata)













This is a Ishikawa's Frog (Odorrana ishikawae)












This is an African Bullfrog (Pyxicephalus adspersus)













This is a Long-nosed Horned Frog (Megophrys nasuta)


I actually think that this looks pretty cool for a frog.












This is a Solomon Island leaf Frog (Ceratobatrachus guentheri)









And on to the nasty ones!












These are Ranita De Cristal (Cochranella albomaculata)

Their insides can really be seen!















These are Waxy Monkey Leaf Frog (Phyllomedusa sauvagii)


I kind of like this one too. They look like laid back monkey or monks, only green.












This is a Crucifix Toad or Holy Cross Frog (Notaden bennettii)


It really defines the term ' Cute'; Ugly, but adorable.












These are Suriname Toad (Pipa pipa)

So flat!
















This is a Turtle Frog (Myobatrachus gouldii)

Doesn't all that make your eye twitch, and want to go to bed badly? I feel the same too.
