123 New Species Discovered In Borneo
Just beautiful.



Color-changing frog
This flying frog can glide through the air, thanks to its large webbed feet and aerodynamic flaps of skin on the arms and legs. Borneo's Mulu flying frog, or Rhacophorus penanorum, is unusual in that the species has bright green skin at night but changes color to display a brown hue during the day.

2. In some thoughts of religious groups.
frogs are symbols for the false prophets of the end times. There is a verse that speaks about that in the Bible. If multiple levels of interpretation is how a person thinks, they can make that association.

Just a note on topics around frogs, as thought of by some people.
