Smoky Jungle Frog, El Valle, Panama

Some of you might remember when I posted an image of one of these frogs in the past and referred to it as the “chicken eating frog.” It’s true. They have been known to eat chickens. They also eat bats, among other unfortunate creatures. They are very large and bulky. Over seven inches in length. And they are also toxic. They live in tropical regions of Central and South America and are strictly nocturnal. I photographed this one in the El Valle region of Panama. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 310mm) ISO 800, f/6.3 at 1/160th of a second, two Nikon SB-900 flash units.
