Tomato Frog – Photo by Bill Love	Brightly colored frogs are popular with pet owners, but over-collection of wild frogs is still a major problem. Tomato Frogs have been given priority protection by international law.
African Bullfrog – Photo by John Netherton	These giant frogs can grow up to eight inches in diameter and live for 40 years. Adult African Bullfrogs look strikingly like the Star Wars character, Jabba the Hutt.
Chinese Gliding Frog – Photo by Joe McDonald	These tree frogs have webbing between the toes that acts like a parachute. Although no frogs can truly fly, gliding frogs can soar and land gracefully from daunting heights.
Ornate Horned Frog – Photo by Joe McDonald	The Ornate Horned Frog sports intricate patterns of brown, green, red and black markings that provide camouflage against the leaf litter of a rainforest floor.
Fire Bellied Toad – Photo by Joe McDonald	The back side of the Fire-Bellied Toad is green and black, providing camouflage from above. When disturbed, they throw their legs into the air revealing a bright red “fire belly” to startle the intruder.
Waxy Monkey Frog – Photo by Joe McDonald	South American Monkey Frogs climb through trees with grasping feet. This frog is unusual in its preference for hot, dry conditions.
Blue Dart Poison Frog – Photo by John Netherton	These frogs from the rainforests of the Americas come in a dizzying array of colors and patterns. Some are used by native tribes to poison the tips of blowdarts for hunting.
