Meet Keke, @nattattackss Waxy Monkey Tree Frog (Phyllomedusa sauvagii) 🐸. This unique species lives high in the drier treetops of the Gran Chaco, spanning Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Bolivia. To cope with the dry climate, they secrete a special wax from their skin glands and spread it over their body like natural lotion, helping them lock in precious moisture and prevent them from drying out. How cool is that?! • #reptiliatus #pet #frog #animal #reel #instagram #viral #cute #frogsofinstagr

The name "monkey" was given because of their opposable thumbs. These frogs use their thumbs to grip branches and walk along them instead of relying solely on hopping like many other frogs. And they use thumbs for grabbing food, evidently. #scalesandtails | Cameron Park Zoo | Facebook
