In the year 2011 and then, scientists have found two types of frog climbers in remote areas in northeastern Queensland, Australia.
The 'Kutini boulder' and 'Golden-capped' frogs are found in two granite rock clusters in the rainforest area of the Cape York Peninsula.Dr Conrad Hoskin of James Cook University says that the climbers' frogs use their long fingers to climb rather than jump, an adaptation to survive in a rocky environment.
"These frogs have long arms, long fingers and large finger joints, allowing them to climb the rocks," Hoskin said.
Dr Hoskin said that this type of climbing frog lives on the rocks and appears on the surface only when it rains in the rainy season. "You can see in the rocks of waterfalls, and see these frogs emerge from the rocks," he said.
In addition, Hoskin also said that not many living creatures in the unusual habitat. "There are only frogs, lizards, spiders and some insects," he said.
Hoskin explains that climbing frogs feed on ants as food sources and put their eggs near rocks.
"Most frogs in Australia are only 2 centimeters long, but this type of frog size can reach 5 centimeters," said Dr. Hoskin.
But this time I can see firsthand, and prove this discovery directly. I feel very lucky. This is not engineering. I took this photo when I got home from work, suddenly I saw a small frog that jumped to a mango tree and then climbed up. I was very surprised. without thinking I immediately took pictures.
