True to its name, this little fellow was deep in the forest, far from any pond or stream.
My Travelogues and Trip Lists page includes a complete list of the herps I saw in the wild on this trip to Malaysia, as well as a travelogue of the trip.

This full-sized toad is particularly reddish for its species.

This one would have flattened down more (and thus become invisible), but it was a little too fat.
