Nocturnal keyboard frog

I’ve had a frog lying on my desk for ages. I don’t mind it. It’s harmless and only moves when you move it (it’s plastic.) The toy frog is orange actually, but I thought it looked cooler in green.

Now for the David Attenborough bit:

For many years zoologists have debated the existence of a particular frog belonging to the genus Hyla. Recently, however, the keyboard-dwelling species of frog has made the transition from cryptozoology to zoology.

The nocturnal keyboard frog (Hyla clavea,) a distant cousin of the American green tree frog (Hyla cinerea,) is found past midnight between the modifier regions of Alternate and Control. The frog is medium-sized, up to seven centimeters.

Its body is usually psychedelic green with faint purple stripes, although some photographic evidence suggests that an orange-delic variety exists as well.
