Darwin’s Frog

The male Darwin’s frog broods tadpoles in its mouth. They tend to get frisky
as children often do. He carries them around until they develop into froglets
and hop out of his mouth.

The top domed part of a tortoise’s shell is known as carapace and the bottom underlying part is known as the plastron.

The creative work of artist Rob Mulholland, these sculptures are made out of mirrored Perspex (or acrylic glass). It has been called the Predator effect after the 1987 film where an alien life form seamlessly blends into its background. Mulholland has previously installed these chameleon-like figures in the woods around Alloa, Loch Ard and the David Marshall Lodge in Scotland.
