I was in Ghana for a few days back in August 2018.

One of the many lovely frogs we came across in the forest of Ghana. This one is Cochran’s Running Frog (Kassina cochranae)? August, 2018, Kyebi, Ghana.

Baby Dwarf Crocodiles (Osteolaemus tetrapis) we found in a marsh pond up on a hill in Ghana, August 2018. They're just so cute!

Bark Mantis, likely Theopompella sp., maybe T. aurivilli. Kubease, Ghana, August 2018.

While out looking for herps, we found a few Feather leg baboon Tarantula (Stromatopelma calceatum). This one was a female. Kubease, Ghana.

Male of the same species! They look totally different!

I had no idea there was a crocodilian species that was that small!
