A rare photo of a rare species. The Lake Taal Sea Snake (Hydrophis semperi) has rarely been seen or studied by outsiders, having only been isolated from its ancestral species in 1754 when Taal Volcano's large eruption closed the bay, turning it freshwater over time. The story...

A toad resting on a gray rock fills most of the image. The toad's ground color is a whiteish beige, overlayed with many irregular spots of a pale green. On the back and the head the beige is replaced with a pale reddish orange. One eye looks toward the camera; the iris is an emerald green, and the black pupil is horizontally elliptical.

So many newcomers today, new friends and old friends -welcome! It feels GOOD to be part of something GREAT right now. Here's a European Green Toad (Bufotes viridis), found near the snowline up in the Pindus Mts in NW Greece. This toad is found across c. Asia, e. Europe, and the Balkans. #herps
