funniest discovery so far upon purchasing a home was that the nice weathered-looking dark wood bedroom set the seller left in the guest room is not in fact antique. it is from the Pirates of the Caribbean collection

This is not a gecko, salamander, or creature from Naboo This is a duck-billed tree frog, specifically Bahia's broad-snout casque-headed tree frog. They live in South America, where they reproduce in the tiny ponds that form in the hearts of bromeliads 📷 Konrad Mebert
