Say hello to the Giant Palm Salamander! This species (Bolitoglossa dofleini) has the biggest smile because it's the largest mushroom-tongue #salamander in the genus Bolitoglossa. Females become almost a foot long & require 10 years to mature and reproduce! #herpetology #SciComm

Tuesday mood.

small salamander in a BIG world

[Jennie Shea @HerptilesAndJen]

It’s been too long since I went for a walk to my closest nature reserve, a stones through from my flat. Autumn is a truly beautiful season 🍁

[Amphibian Survival Alliance @amphibiansorg]

A #disease that causes mass die-offs in #frogs has been found in the UK for the 1st time 😰It was found in frogs bought from a pet store and kept in an aquarium.

The international #trade in #amphibians can facilitate the spread of infectious diseases.

Yesterday I found the smallest grass snake I’ve ever seen, I know I’ve got big hands but look how small this guy is! Crazy to think that in a few years, they’ll be well over a metre long! #CranwichSnakes #Herpetology #Reptiles #Snakes @DICE_Kent @ZSLScience @_BTO

This GORGEOUS #salamander is 1111. We marked her in 2011 @ 60mm SVL. She’d have been at least 6 yrs old. We’ve recaptured her 34 times over past decade & she’s conservatively 17 yrs old & now 80mm. We’re learning that Plethodon can live a long time. @UGAWarnell @HerpetologyUga

50 shades of #frog! 🐸 Todays #amphibianweek theme is the secret lives of amphibs & I recently learnt about the evolution of amplexus! Here's a sketch (adapted from Carvajal-Castro et al 2020) showing the amazing variation in kermit kamasutra 🤭🐸 #sciart #scicomm @amphibiansorg

[Amphibian and Reptile Conservation @ARC_Bytes]

It’s #AmphibianWeek – What are amphibians?
Simply put amphibians are vertebrates (animals with backbones) which spend part of their lives on land and part in water. We have 7 native amphibian species in the UK: 2 frogs, 2 toads & 3 newts. Find out more at: https://t.co/3qKibNqf8D

[Jodi Rowley @jodirowley]

The most well-known and diverse group of #amphibians are the #frogs & toads.

To date, there are over 7,350 known species of frog & toad.

They are important parts of most healthy ecosystems, from rainforests to grasslands, & mountains to deserts. #AmphibianWeek @amphibiansorg

[herpetALLogy @herpetALLogy]

Modern Amphibians can be classified into three Orders. The most prominent (and most diverse) of these is Order Anura - Frogs. With over 7000 known species, this order represents about 88% of global amphibian diversity, most of which is concentrated in tropical rainforests! /1

Today is #WorldFrogDay so of course we are going to celebrate by showing you some of our best images of these charismatic little creatures. What images do you have to share?
