This is the Namaqua rain frog (Breviceps namaquensis) found in South Africa. Its characteristics, including the squeals it emits, are supposed to deter predators. It’s so irresistibly cute humans would probably keep it as a pet. Not sure if this frog intended its cuteness for that, though.

Lolong, the world’s largest crocodile in captivity (20.4 ft. long), was found dead in its pen in Bunawan, Agusan del Sur, Philippines last Sunday night. Lolong had a bloated belly, but the cause of death has yet to be investigated. He was attracting a lot of tourists daily and was generating a sizeable income for the community. The villagers are mourning his death.
Sabi nga nila, bakit si Lolong pa, eh ang dami namang ibang bwaya.
Paalam Lolong.
