I believe this frog to be the species Boophis Goudotii, indigenous to Madagascar. I came across him/her on a night hike in Ranomafana National Park in the south central part of the country. Nikon D200 with Nikkor 80-200mm lens (at 92mm with Canon 500D close up filter attached) ISO 100, f/22 at 1/60th of a second, two Nikon SB-600 flash units.
If my parents named me Boophis Guadotii I too would hide in the forests of Madagascar and only come out at night. I don’t know about this frog’s conservation status, but its dignity is critically endangered. High school must have been hell for this little guy.
This name sounds more like a third world “banana republic” dictator with a penchant for expensive scotch, and ridiculous clothes–not a frog. But a frog it is. Happily, he’ll never make the news cycle.

His frog pad looks comfortable.

I like its frog pad.
I agree with Louis Wittig -high school must have been a bitch. Surprised that Boophis allowed you to photograph him, her. or them.
