Information about the Smoky Jungle Frog:

The Smoky Jungle Frog is a terrestrial amphibian native to the tropical and subtropical jungles of much of Central and South America. They will also head into dry and lower montane forests. They grow to be quite large – over 7 inches long (18 cm) with the males being slightly larger than the females. They are mostly nocturnal and rarely encountered in the daytime, where they spend most of the time buried in burrows, or hiding in leaf litter or empty logs. They are opportunistic hunters, and will eat most anything they come across that is moving and will fit in their mouths; lizards, invertebrates, small birds, mammals and even other frogs. When they are threatened they will emit a loud squeal and secrete a noxious skin fluid. It’s believed that their distress calls will attract caimans and other top predators of the rainforest.

The poster is printed on matte, museum-quality paper with Giclée printing quality:

• Paper thickness: 10.3 mil

Artist’s notes:

The Smoky Jungle Frog was completed on 5.12.2013. I have only been to the rainforests once in my life, despite a lifelong fascination with the place. Many years ago I traveled to Costa Rica, and spent a few days deep in primary rainforest – some of the last standing in Central America – and was thrilled each night to go out and explore the jungle. One of the best ways to find animals was to look for “eyeshine” – eyes reflected in the forest. This is how I found a Smoky Jungle Frog. I marveled at the coloration and size of the frog. Recently, after years of intending to do so, I finally rendered one of these amazing animals. The drawing is based on a photo by Rob Gore.
