melanistic Treefrog

Last week I visited a spot for Treefrogs in our lokal forest, at the moment there are lots of young frogs in the bushes, I also found this unnormal coloured frog with black iris between them (melanism?).

Wow, that one looks very strange, Dominik.
Would be very intersting to see how it looks like in one or two years.

Hello,

I thought the same Jürgen, I hope to see him again, but I think he might not be so succesfull in nature on green leafs in hunting and getting hunted.
