Nigel clutches one of the oddest-looking amphibians in the world, the wibbly-wobbly Budgett’s frog. This chap has such a wide gape he’s got a head like a flip-top kitchen bin. In addition to that, his loose wet skin gives the impression that he’s just been prised from a very unattractive jelly mould. But that gape means he can catch and consume very large prey items, not a bad trait when you’re a hungry frog in stiff competition for food. Yet again, we find that ugliness has its uses.
