Identification and description:
The Vietnamese Mossy Frog is a unique amphibian species, easily recognized by its rough skin and green coloration that resembles moss, providing it with perfect camouflage in its natural habitat. This frog lives in the humid forests of Vietnam, particularly in rocky areas and trees. It is primarily nocturnal, spending the day motionless, camouflaged among leaves or moss. When it moves at night, it is capable of climbing vertical surfaces thanks to its sharp claws, making it an excellent climber. Its coloration and skin texture help it blend into its environment and avoid predators.

Recommended lens:
Macro – adjust based on distance, desired framing (portrait or habitat), and approach conditions.

Photography tips:
Photograph the Vietnamese Mossy Frog using soft, diffused lighting, preferably at night, to capture its colors and natural camouflage without disturbing it. Use a macro lens to capture the details of its rough skin and camouflage patterns. Be discreet and avoid disturbing the animal, photographing from a respectful distance. Try to capture its climbing or resting behavior in its natural environment.
