Very Small Amphibian (1cm.) on a Mushroom


Please see also the second image published as Workshop.

In my visit in November to the Uruguayan City of Punta del Este, I found in the proximities of a small lagoon artificial thousands of these amphibians that didn't exceed 1 centimeter of size in any case (some were smaller even)... I never had the luck to see samples mature of the same ones.

After an intense night storm, the following day they began to be dispersed for all sides, helped by the big quantity of accumulated water deposited by the rain.

It was this way when I found several specimen amid the posterior garden of the house that I inhabited and some of them being gone up to objects that found to their step, like in this case to a mushroom that you can see complete in the image of Workshop.

After several captures, I decided to post this for the details that are perceived of the amphibian that perhaps help to the friends of TN to identify it the same as to the species of the Kingdom Fungi.

I hope you like it J

Happy 2007 for all the members of TN!!!
