I was out cycling yesterday and found this little critter crossing the road. They are so sweet.

Nice one dude. They are very pretty and always chilled. Got a gravid one on a call out not too long ago.
And God has Created every animal from water, of them are some creeping on their bellies, some walk on two legs, and some on four. God Creates what He wills, for sure God has Power over all things. (Noble Quran 24:45)

Luckily you have small frogs this time of year for him.
