These amphibians are endangered, along with 41 percent of all other species because of climate change. They will visit the released amphibians again after winter to determine how many survive.

Wildlife Photographer Spots Tiny Garden Frogs Using Flowers For An UmbrellaIndonesian wildlife photographer Ajar Setiadi has taken delight in observing the tiny frogs that live in his own garden. He has been documenting the interesting and fascinating moments that these intriguing little creatures provide. He’s grown fond of them and even considers them as his own pets. “For me, it’s a miracle that I can capture them,” says the photographer. “That’s an amazing moment, actually.”Setiadi has always known that these amphibians love his flowers and he even lets the little green creatures play around with them. But one rainy day, he noticed these frogs using them as umbrellas and he just had to take some shots. To his (and our) greater amusement, he even managed to capture two of them sharing a single flower as if they were a couple or a pair of buddies looking after each other. It was such a rare and precious moment among creatures that we have never thought of as social beings.Besides the frogs in his garden, Setiadi also likes to observe other creatures that live in his hometown of Bogor.
