Tree frog barks, embarks - survives close call

Uncommon black&white-headed Common Tree Snake stares in frustration after triggering barking escape by . . .

. . . Green Tree Frog, now silent, embarked on survival.

What's a snake to do? Too far to stretch. Unwilling to drop in on prey.

Wait. Wait. The frog's climbing from safety toward snake.

Come on. Bit more. But no. Frog stops climbing. Snake stops stretching. Gives up. Frog survives close call.
