Tree Frog (Hyperoliidae?)

Saw this little guy (most likely a tree frog - Hyperollidae - someone correct me if I am wrong) climbing over some signs at a viewing spot in the park - first amphibian.

Such a pleasant contrast to view something on this scale after hippos and elephants!

Frogs hold a special place in my heart - short post on fixing up some enamel ones later...

Red fox (Vulpes vulpes)

Now that I am back in London and have a minute decided to post on the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) that is common across most of the Northern Hemisphere - and n recent times the urban landscape.

At the same time somewhat dog-like and somehow not - they fill an ecological niche created by us - life is so incredibly adaptable. They do get in fights with each other, with domestic cats, dogs and are frequently killed by traffic but their population seems to grow year on year - will be interesting to see divergences in various city populations will be over the next few decades.

This guy had a patch of bare skin on his rear right leg, but did not seem to be anything life threatening. Nice coat.
