EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting image, a Spotted Stream Frog (Rana picturata, also known as Boulenger's Spotted Frog) sits atop an ancient tree, its keen eyes focused intently on the forest floor below. The primary rainforest of Danum Valley Conservation Area in Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia, serves as the backdrop to this nocturnal scene in June. The Spotted Stream Frog is a small, agile amphibian that thrives in the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia. Its spotted skin, which ranges from olive green to brown, helps it blend seamlessly into its surroundings. This elusive creature is a master of camouflage, using its unique coloration to blend in with the fungi and moss that adorn the tree trunks. As night falls, the Spotted Stream Frog comes alive, using its large, round eyes to spot prey in the dimly lit forest. Its diet consists mainly of insects, spiders, and other small invertebrates. The frog's long, sticky tongue helps it capture its prey with remarkable speed and accuracy. The old tree, covered in moss and fungi, provides the perfect perch for the Spotted Stream Frog to watch for its next meal. The fungi, which play a crucial role in the forest ecosystem, not only serve as food for the frog but also help to break down dead organic matter, recycling nutrients back into the soil. This historical photograph captures the beauty and mystery of the rainforest and the fascinating creatures that call it home. The Spotted Stream Frog, with its watchful eyes and ancient tree companion, is a testament to the rich biodiversity of the primary rainforests of Borneo.
