Black-breasted leaf turtles are able to move their eyes independently of each other much like a chameleon, allowing them to keep an eye out for both predators and prey simultaneously. One of the smallest turtles in the world, their prey usually consists of worms, insects, and other invertebrates. But you never know...

Animal Spotlight- Vietnamese bird p**p frogs

Theloderma asperum has many common names– pied warty frog, hill garden bug-eyed frog but our favorite is the bird p**p frog. Take one look at them and you’ll understand how they earned the name. Those colors are their expert camouflage. Hiding in plain sight, they appear to be a bit of bird f***s sitting on a leaf, an unappetizing meal to the birds and lizards that prey on them.

These frogs are small, so small that the adults could sit quite comfortably on a dollar coin. Due to their small size, they prefer eating small things. They’re carnivores, and eat a wide variety of small insects, arachnids, and any invertebrate they can catch. Their camouflage also helps them stay hidden from their prey. They like to hide in the leaves of aquatic plants and in small crevices between rocks.

Our bird p**p frogs came from the electric city aquarium in Scranton Pennsylvania. There are four frogs in their enclosure, though it is common to not be able to find even a single one. Next time you come by, test your eyes by hunting down these interesting, elusive frogs
