Vietnamese mossy frog, Tonkin bug-eyed frog, moss bug-eyed frog (Theloderma corticale) is a species of frog endemic to northern Vietnam, south–central Laos, and southern China. Its mottled green and brown skin, bumpy texture, and even the patterns on its eyes help it blend seamlessly with moss and rocks, their calls can travel a significant distance, they can also "throw" their voice, making it sound like it's coming from a location far from their actual position. When threatened, it will curl into a ball and play dead, appearing inedible to predators.
