Vietnamese mossy frog

Vietnamese mossy frog (Theloderma corticale) - By living in environments that are tropical and humid, this little frog has evolved a camouflage mechanism (its skin) that allows it to almost fully conceal itself from potential predators and blend in with the surrounding mossy environment. When threatened, it curls up into a ball and plays dead.

An interesting fact:
"Frogs have no hard palate in their mouth. Instead of pushing food to the top of their mouth in order to swallow it, they will pull their eyes down into the roof their mouth to help force food down their throats."

The red deer

The red deer (Cervus elaphus) is one of the largest deer species. The red deer inhabits most of Europe, the Caucasus Mountains region, Asia Minor, Iran, parts of western Asia, and central Asia. It also inhabits the Atlas Mountains region between Morocco and Tunisia in northwestern Africa, being the only species of deer to inhabit Africa. Red deer have been introduced to other areas, including Australia, New Zealand and Argentina.

Male European red deer have a distinctive "roar"-like-sound (not to be confused with actual roars made by lions, panthers and the like) during the rut, which is an adaptation to forested environments, as opposed to male (American elk or wapiti) which "bugle" during the rut in adaptation to open environments. The male deer roars to keep his harem of females together. The females are initially attracted to those males that both roar most often and have the loudest roar call. Males also use the roar call when competing with other males for females during the rut, and along with other forms of posturing and antler fights, is a method used by the males to establish dominance. Roaring is most common during the early dawn and late evening, which is also when the crepuscular deer are most active in general.
