These surreal frog and toad photos look like they're from a sci-fi movie, but are real examples of these amphibians' diversity. They are found almost everywhere around the world, and range in size from a tiny 7.7 mm (0.3 inches) to the goliath frog's whopping 32 cm (12.6 inches). The world frog population is in rapid decline, and over 1/3 of all frog species are threatened with extinction. Many scientists believe that amphibians are a good biological indicator of broader ecosystem health, which means we might have something to worry about. So if you want future generations to be able to enjoy such beauty, do your part—be mindful of the environment!

Is that tiny frog holding a leaf like an umbrella, to shield himself from the rain? Yes, and it's just one of several amazing shots by photographers who feature the tailless amphibians in their photos. Photographer Penkdix Paime shot the tiny tree frog in his neighbor's backyard in Jember, East Java, Indonesia. The clever frog used the leaf as his umbrella for more than 30 minutes as the rain pitter-pattered all around him. After showing you some fantastic photos of some very expressive owls, I thought it was time to turn our attention to the often neglected green friend that's found mostly in the rainforest. Incredibly, there are approximately 4,800 recorded species of frogs, making it one of the most diverse group of vertebrates around. Now, please enjoy our top 14 photos of personality-filled frogs.
