Big-eyed tree frog
The big-eyed tree frog, Amani Forest tree frog, vermiculated tree frog ("Leptopelis vermiculatus") is a frog from the Eastern Arc Mountains and a few other places in Tanzania. Scientists saw it on between 900 and 1800 meters above sea level.
The adult male frog is 3.9 to 5.0 cm long and the female is 6.1 to 8.5 cm long. It lives in forests. It likes to sit on tree limbs hanging over the water.
All young frogs and some adult males are bright green with a black pattern. Adult females and many adult males are gold-brown in color, with patterns on their backs and dark marks behind their eyes. This frog has discs at the ends of its toes. These discs help it climb.
This frog is endangered because humans like to cut down its forests to build farms. These are mostly small farms, not large corporate farms. In many of the places where this frog lives, there are no laws against doing this.

Adventure game
An adventure game is a type of video game or computer game. Gameplay in adventure games is mostly exploration, solving puzzles and finishing stories. Some adventure games also have combat systems so the player can fight enemies like in an action game, beat 'em up or role-playing game, but many adventure games have no fighting in them at all. The first adventure game was "Colossal Cave Adventure" in 1975.
In adventure games, the player usually acts through a character in the story. This character sometimes has a history. For example Roger Sams in "Bad Mojo" is a sad insect scientist and Alexander in "King's Quest VI" is a prince trying to rescue a princess. Other player characters have almost no history. In "Myst" and "Zork", the game does not even give the player character a name. Other characters and the game's voice call the player "you."
Adventure games can be played on computers, for example PCs and Macs. Adventure games can be played on consoles, for example Playstations and Xboxes.
Many adventure games are called point-and-click adventure games because the player uses a computer mouse to click on things on the screen. Not all adventure games do this. In the 1996 game "Bad Mojo", the player can only use the computer's arrow keys. In the 1977 game "Zork", the player must write commands using the keyboard.
