-

This clever frog is using its camouflage­d skin to hide in fallen leaves so that it can remain undetected by predators. The rare Amazonian horned frog, which has a mouth wider than the length of its body, sits completely still while humans and predators move around it. Chien Lee, the photograph­er, said: “We were searching for all sorts of nocturnal creatures in the rainforest, but because these frogs are so rarely encountere­d, we didn’t have much confidence that we would find one.”
