Description
The javelin frog is the smallest known tree frog in Australia, with males reaching 16 mm and females 18 mm in length.[2] Colours are typically brown with a light-brown dorsal surface, dark-brown lateral stripes and light, almost white, ventral surface. A white stripe runs along the lip and along the side of the frog.[2]
gollark: I think most codecs have a lossless mode but the size probably won't vary much.
gollark: And "minimal size" is irrelevant if it's being losslessly compressed.
gollark: Use VP9, support is better.
gollark: It is possible to make GIFs with better colours via methods.
gollark: - things are, on average, generally improving- any economic system which operates at scale, i.e. any able to maintain our modern standard of living, has to wrestle with this complexity too- none of this implies that supply and demand "is made up"
