EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a rare moment of intimacy in the animal kingdom - Knudsens bullfrogs mating. The male and female frogs, belonging to the species Leptodactylus knudseni, are seen engaging in amplexus, a unique behavior where the male clasps onto the female's back during copulation. This fascinating display of sexual reproduction takes place amidst the lush greenery of a South American rainforest. Knudsens bullfrogs are native to various countries including Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, Venezuela and possibly Trinidad and Tobago. Their presence in this photograph highlights their wide distribution across tropical regions of South America. The image showcases not only the beauty of these amphibians but also provides valuable insights into their biology and behavior. It serves as a reminder of the incredible diversity found within our planet's ecosystems. Photographed by DR MORLEY READ for Science Photo Library at Yasuni National Park in Ecuadorian Amazonia - an area renowned for its rich biodiversity - this print is a testament to both scientific exploration and artistic expression. It invites viewers to appreciate nature's wonders while encouraging further study into herpetology and wildlife conservation.
