Tiger Leg Monkey Frogs

These almost cryptic critters at the Oregon Coast Aquarium hide their stripes until they are moving. Are they tiger frogs? Not sure, but the colors are tigerish on the underside of their bellies. Only one of this bunch was on the move in the late afternoon. I am not even sure what country they come from. It may be the Panatela Swamps of Brazil or the Chaco of Paraguay. They are in a corner of the swampland exhibit at the Aquarium. Hidden right in front of you, suddenly they appear, and then they are so bold. How could you miss them?
