This trio of tomato frogs lives in northeastern Madagascar. Their bright red color and round shape help them live up to their name.

I laid near them on the ground to take their photo and not disturb them. Tomato frogs can secrete a sticky substance to protect themselves from predators.

Take along a guide book, or better yet, a local guide to learn about wildlife when traveling.
