New research from Vienna Zoo unveils the clever tactic of Wallace's flying frog, which disguises itself as feces to avoid predators.

This frog species camouflages its young as excrement, fooling potential threats. These remarkable frogs are known for their incredible leaps and gliding abilities.

The study showed that young frogs with red coloring were more enticing to birds, but when they covered themselves with white spots, the attack rate dropped by 50%. As these frogs mature, they transition from red to emerald green, likely adapting to various habitats throughout their lives.

The research enhances our understanding of these creatures and supports conservation efforts.
