I took this photo while on a mokoro trip along the Okavango Delta in Botswana. This little guy, not bigger than a fingernail, jumped out into our mokoro and landed on Hal’s leg. We carefully put him back on a long grass stalk.
The long reed frog (Hyperloius nasutus) call can be heard at dusk. Click here to hear the call.
