Is this amphibian a visitor from outer space? 🛸Nope… it’s the casque-headed tree frog (Triprion petasatus), a species that can be found in parts of Mexico, Belize, and Guatemala. How does it put its head casque, or “helmet” to use? When this frog nestles into tree holes, it plugs the opening with its hard head, using it as a barrier against the outside world. This helps the frog retain extra moisture in its skin!
