Boomkikker / Tree frog / Rainette verte

It was fun to read that most of you associated his open mouth with food but I have to disappoint you... the tree frog was changing skin!

Like some other reptiles tree frogs change skin, something I didn't know either. An interesting event of nature to witness.

 

In this image he's bloating to loosen the skin from his body. Remarkable to see this little fellow behaving other than lying totally still in the sun!
