Sunshine Spotlight

This American green treefrog belongs to the Order Anuran, an identifying name meaning "without tail": Anurans represent, by far, the most speciose, diverse, and widespread of the three extant amphibian orders, found throughout most of the world – except in polar regions – & some oceanic islands and extremely xeric deserts; Anuran diversity is greatest in the tropics

 

To all who visit and view, and – especially – express support and satisfaction: you are much appreciated!
