![r/pics - [OC] My first attempt at plein air painting. I was super nervous!](https://a.thumbs.redditmedia.com/n8NMdn4GAeyOoY_3sFWoDcRXdfm3JgYuX9mJl0pO_j0.jpg)
Wouldn't a baby frog be a tadpole?
This is just a phase he's going through.
"I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!" said adolescent frog to Mama Frog. Mama Frog has become concerned over Junior's sudden slip in grades and increased irritability.
Ch-ch-changes!
Tuuuurn and face the strange
That's one stage yes. There's also the pollywog, the stage where it's pretty much a tiny fully formed frog but it still has a bit of it's tail left.
Mostly people just use baby frogs to refer to tiny little frogs just past the the pollywog stage.
That's not a universal definition. Pollywog is a regional term.
Some people use tadpole for the entire phase between egg and full frog, some people use pollywog for the same thing. You use tadpole for the phase before it grows limbs and pollywog for the phase after, some people do exactly the reverse.
There's no universal definition for either term, except insofar as both refer to frogs after hatching and before losing their tails.
No, Poliwag is when it has no arms and a tail. Poliwhirl is the in between stage, and Poliwrath is when it gains more muscle mass and fighting abilities. They're definitely distinct forms.
don't forget the reversal in the swirl
Holy shit I finally know the origin of Poliwags name now
Tadpoles look totally different, as they are still in the larval stage. A baby frog is an apt name for something that has passed that stage into froghood, but is still extremely tiny.
Nuh-huh
Way to milk some karma.
A little bit of reading says its not venomous, and it is a juvenile, not a tadpole clearly, but the markings diminish as the frogs age so the bright colours mean its quite young.
I don't know what you're all on though, it doesn't look remotely tasty to me
Before I even glanced at the other comments, one of my first thoughts was "There should be a gummie candy based on this". Made me think of rasberry cotton candy for some strange reason.
Regardless of flavor, that's one cool looking frog.
Four out of five. Would not eat.
This is one case where I think "poisonous" makes more sense than "venomous". (Is there even such a thing as a venomous frog?)
You are correct. "...venomous animals have a delivery method for the toxin, such as fangs or spines, poisonous animals and plants do not have a delivery method and rely on transference of the toxin." http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_poison_frog#section_1
Thank you! I almost want to do a Captain Picard meme saying 'How the hell... can you want to eat a baby frog?'
Er...."Their common name milk frog refers to the poisonous, white, milky secretion that this frog may secrete when threatened."
But I still kinda want one!
Not according to Wikipedia. But yeah I can see other references now. I'm hardly an Amazonian fauna expert! It does actually seem controversial. Either way it probably won't kill you.
You might not, but I have this urge to take a bite. It's like one of those Cookies and Cream chocolate candies for Easter. Mmmmmm. Brb, going to the store!
Must lick frog...
Uh oh...
That was a noisy gif.
lol you're right! I heard like a rumbling sound.
Why does this remind me of Roller Coaster Tycoon?
It tastes like a peppermint patty!
My mouth looks like that after I have a slurpee too.
There's a "your mom" joke in this somewhere.
"I just blue myself."
"There's got to be a better way to say that."

Let me guess... its gonna kill you in an instant with its poison milk.
All glory to the ......... Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Found our new cats.
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!! I've never seen one of those before! That guy is awesome!
I go nuts for frogs like that Veronica Mars chick goes crazy for sloths... Frogs are just awesome. They jump & stuff.
And judging by all the comments about eating him, I guess we now know where frog licking originates from.
Looks Tasty.
9/10 would lick.
Reminds me of some of the frog-based monsters in Final Fantasy IV.
I need a pokeball.
We have 6 Amazon Milk Frogs at our zoo that I help care for. They are really cool little guys. Their eyes have fantastic coloring.
Customers that have licked this have also licked the following items: Stamps (buy new from $0.50), and Horsehead Mask (buy new from $19)
What flavor Jolly Ranchers are blue?
Blue raspberry
Looks like Kermit got busy with a zebra.
Looks incredibly venomous.
Pretty amazing.
I want to eat it. Probably tastes like raspberry.
Does anyone have a high-res version of this or similar pictures?
edit: Google only found a 1000px version http://www.kumailplus.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/amazon-milk-frog.jpg but that could also be an upsized version of the 720px pic.. :(
Its not easy being... brown and white.
Just blue a Smurf.
His mouth reminds me of the days when Rockin' Blue Raspberry Gushers were the shit.
This hits me right in the reminiscence.
It looks like it would be good to eat, like a gummy
That's amazong!
That's weirdly cute. I don't 'like' frogs. But when they're tiny and look funny....
Looks more like a parfait frog to me.
The "milk" in the name comes from the milky colored fluid these frogs excrete when stressed.
love the color scheme.
I'm now looking forward to a nice cold glass of milk frog milk.
My first reaction was I want to eat him.
Let me guess. It's poisonous when it get older, and lives in Australia
Yes. The Amazon is in Australia. They moved it last night when nobody was looking.
Can it be a baby frog? Is is the tadpole the baby?
That frog looks baked
Gotta catch'em. All.
That damn frog stole my blue popsicle.
Milk was a bad choice. Try milk frog.
It's blue. Hemocyanin?
All glory to the hypno Milk Frog
Why did I imagine it meowing
Free shipping?
That looks insanely dangerous. Millions of years of genetic memories are telling me to run and hide just from looking at that picture.
wait - what? Not a tadpole?
this one got me too. The only explanation I can come up with is that it must come from some mysterious place called "The Baby Amazon".
I hate frogs, but this is kindof cute.
That just screams out posinous no frog can safely have colors like that.
typo*
A baby amazING frog
looks poisonous
Heh, hehe.
so on a scale of 1 to 11, how fucked up would i be if i licked it?
I'm getting down voted into oblivion for this one but...
could someone photoshop this frog so it wears a palestinians towel and has a bazooka?
I'm having an intense discussion about this picture with a friend of mine and it would be very usefull and funny at the moment!
wat?
Looks like he told a joke and is waiting for people to laugh.
So that's where the frog milk comes from...
Every cyber dog, animatronic dinosaur or other toy robot in this color has clued me into the truth: This frog is from the future.
aww gajooby doo wok a ga baaaaby
Gotta be poisonous.
I... can't..
My.. My feels.. Awhh.. >w<
FACT: This is where oreo's come from.
wibbit
Not a baby, this is an adult. Juvenile frogs tend to look like so. The are damned pretty though!
Frogs go through many different stages. This is just after the pollywog stage, where it looks like a regular frog, just with a small tail. It is a juvenile because this kind of frogs markings change as the frog gets older.
[10] Frog?
SO CUT...shot
... duuuuude....

I want to dunk an Amazon Oreo Frog in its mouth...
It looks delicious.
Fuck off! I think I recognize a panda when I see one.
How the hell wasn't that frog named Amazon Zebra Frog?
no Zebras in the wild there
he's so poisonous.......
How poisonous is he?!
When it's mouth is azure you can bet it's poisonous.
Aww
Cute. WHy am I assuming it is lethal at about 50 meters?
Basic rule: The more colorful a frog is, the quicker you'll die from its venom.
I think a baby frog is a tadpole. I could be wrong though.
Nutella and milk...
Meow?

Is it poisonous?
Did he just drink blue kool-aid?
