Description
A stylized White-lipped Giant Tree frog found in Australia - pictured in a blaze of tropical color. These delightful creatures can be found in the northeast corner of Queensland which has one of the largest tropical rain forests in the world.My sincerest thanks to Mr Bennett Kent for allowing me to use his photograph "White-lipped Tree Frog" as a reference for my fanciful rendition. Please visit his galleries to view his wonderful photographs.
Amphibians are cold blooded and most of them metamorphase from a juvenile form into and adult.They do not generate any of their own body heat nad must rely on their environment to keep themselves warm.They are found on every continent but Antarctica.
Amphibians play an important role in the balance of nature - as both predator and prey.They help keep pesky insects that spread diseases like malaria in control.Their skin has a special substance that protects them from viruses and microbes, and it may possibly be useful in creating cures for human diseases including AIDS.
As many as 1/3 to 1/2 the 7000 known species could become extinct in our lifetimes due to changes in the environment,over collection,etc.
Frogs have historically symbolized Life and Good Luck.
