Pink Creature from Down Under! (Rare Turtle Frog)
It’s pink, pudgy, and super rare! In this video the crew travels over 12,000 miles so Mark Vins can try to accomplish a childhood dream of catching the pink creature from down under - the one and only Turtle Frog.

41 years on this earth and I'm still seeing new species of animals I've never seen or heard of before, amazing
Theres about 6000 species of jumping spiders alone but I understand what you mean semi-old timer!
You should check out marine life discoveries too. We have been making a lotta discoveries in that field
Well 🤔 when you go upstairs from the basement there is a world of wonders out there 🤷🏻♂️
99 years on this earth and I'm still seeing new species of animals I've never seen or heard of before, amazing
22 years here and same 22 gang 👇🏻
*Kirby added to inventory*

Yooo this might be Kirby 😳😳😳
I bet this Kirby makes Yoshi noises! ❤

KIRBY FROG
The fact you need to go to this small remote locate on the edge of Australia while it’s raining which happens only a few times a year makes it feel like I’m partaking in a legendary Pokémon hunt
no lie its like finding the Unknown pokemon lol
It's like finding a shiny!
I said this while they were looking haha it sooooo cool
at a certain time of year too! if not they wouldnt do the mating call, really, really tight window
The cutest piece of blob I've seen yet
Nah its a turtle with no shell
the frog looked so awkward when you found it like you caught it doing something it wasn’t supposed too, I love it
wasn't supposed to*
🤣🤣
@@SalvableRuin🙄
It was probably placed there
@@ChrisJohnson-cp5ffI love this channel a lot, but I get the same feeling, something off about this video.
He was just sitting there like: “I have been expecting you.”
DESTINY
VAUSH
It even croaks so he can find the frog
😂😂
@@BraveWildernesslooks like you found gorlock the destroyer
THANK YOU FOR FINALLY MAKING A VIDEO FOR A TURTLE FROG! ive loved turtle frogs for so long and to finally see a hd video of one just makes my day
user name checks out lol
The huge build up for the tiny croak makes it even more cute 😂 ugh i love frogs
The funny thing about this frog is at first glance you wouldn't even think it's an actual frog. Looks a lot more like an Alien or something similar.
When I saw the thumbnail for this video, I thought it was clickbait until I saw that it was Brave Wilderness. lol 😂
it literally looks like some kind of sculpture in the thumbnail
It looks like my ballsack
just googled apparently not actually rare
@@moltengears7483 They are pretty rare. They live in a small area of Australia, and they only come out at night when it rains, which does not happen often.
As an Aussie who's lived here my whole life I never knew we had them in this country till now! Amazing.
You will be surprised what is in your country that you don't even know
@@WildlifeWarrior-cr1kkyeah, that’s literally what OP just said 😂
Well he used to live in the states before we broke up.
@@isitoveryet9525 sort of
The rain is crazy atm huh!
5:59 man’s really just sitting there 🧎♂️
That frog is actually really cute. Excited to see you catch it
What an absolutely adorable little frog. That face was so cute!!
Thank you! 😊
Kirby frog
Just s adorable as a rain frog.
it looks like a ballbag
@aaronando1218 well then it's an absolutely adorable freshly waxed ball bag!
That little frog is seriously adorable, this is really cool footage guys.
Agreed 😊😊
They found Kirby
I wud just eat it
6:40 the way hes slippin i cant 😢
@@Woodland_Mansion Excuse me? 😭
That lizard at the beginning is so chill. It's like he knew that the human was going to help him ❤
This was an incredible find ! I’ve never seen this kind of frog in my life , Thanks for sharing with us ❤
Harlequin toads, velvet worms, turtle frogs... Mark's like a magnet for rare species! Good job guys, I'm so happy you were able to find that frog!
We have come such a far away.. who else has been a fan when they only had thousands of subs?
It takes knowledge & a hint of alignment & just a touch of luck. The joy he showed upon finding it, instantly makes you smile, no easy task 🔥
It helps when you have a production crew strategically placing the critter in question for the host to "find".
@@AmbientShades lol right.... still makes for an interesting & cool watch though.
@@AmbientShades To do that... guess what, someone still has to find the animal. You must be fun at parties.
The Turtle Frog is no doubt the derpiest amphibian on Earth. Awesome video as always
Go check out the purple frog then, very much derpier!
desert rain frog from africa
People say the blob fish is, but that’s only when you pull it from the deep!
@@ianswift3521 pretty derpy
@@RubberDonut derpy species for sure
That is amazing. Thank you guys for going through everything you do to bring us amazing animals and inform us. Amazing job guys!!!!
Wow very cool! Thank you guys for sharing this. Definitely by far one of the coolest frog’s I’ve ever seen!
What an epic creature
Fr! 🐢🐸
Yep
yes
Hoy! Wil, andito ka pala? What's up Kabayan. This is such a cute frog. Mikey Bustos would be so happy to find this guy too.
Wow naman Wil, hanggang dito ba naman? Haha next time baka manghuli kana rin ng palaka Lol
All the build up to the tiny croak is amazing 😂 4:57
That’s another funny thing about the turtle frog. All the other normal-looking frog species in southwest Australia produce all manner of weird unfroglike calls - you hear sounds at night like sad moaning, motorbike engines, or someone plucking a banjo. Then you have the turtle frog, the strangest looking frog imaginable, yet it produces a mundane stereotypical frog “croak”.
@@Ozraptor4I love it 🤣
Thanks for making me focus on it. Now it gets funnier as I hear it.😂
Couldn't stop laughing at how cute that thing is. And for you to love frogs so much, i was hoping that you were able to keep it for yourself.
It looks like a adorable piece of chewed bubblegum
Or realistic version of Kirby
It looks like a pokemon
Kirby deflated
Moving ballsack
looks like my bollocks after a hot shower
Unbelievable at 52 there are still animals I've never seen or heard about. Thank you so much for capturing footage of this adorable little frog.
Thank you mate for showing and educating us..awesome!!
I am really happy that you found ur biggest goal!!! And it looks so cute!! keep up the good work!
5:52 the way he is just sitting there is so funny to me
5:58 "Yahaha! You found me"!
Only 998 more to go 😂😂😂😂😂
This was an awesome video. I dont think people understand how cool it is that he even got footage of this
This video is insanely exciting. It feels as exciting or more than Steve Irwin wrestling a crocodile or a rescue mission. Such editing to do this momentous occasion justice!
It's such a beautiful and adorable little creature, i love how it just crawled on your hand like this is a normal thing for it.
I no it is so cute❤❤❤❤❤❤
Do you mean i know?
@@demetriouskenrixdelmundo218That's some good detective work
It's so ❤
To see how happy he was when he found it really is telling on how much this means to him to find it
Thank you for showing it to us! I loved seeing him!
Coyote Peterson, and your crew have been what everyone has wanted and you all deserve success thank you for your hard work!

GET OUT OF MY HEAD!
The little head with big black eyes so cute
same lmao I knew I had to see it XD
Australia never ceases to amaze with its wildlife. Thanks for the video!
Of course! Lol
You will be surprised when mankind is not discovered yet in every country
Wish I could get HALF as excited and happy as this Dude finding his TurtleFrog! Cool lil guy, coolest, I dunno, but definitely Top10 in cool frogs
It's so great to get to see this little frog, but watching you find the frog and seeing how happy it made you was just as great. :)
5:25 I love those little barks! So cute
As a zoologsit student, i really just acknowledge how vast the animal kingdom is. I never knew there are species out there that i haven’t heard or seen! 😳 that frog is was surprising to me! It just didn’t even looked like a frog at all!!?!
Zoologist who can`t even spell the word?
@@mjh5437everyone makes typos
I feel like you're lying. Someone in a field like that making kindergarten level grammatical errors is highly unlikely. The way you spelled zoologist and saying it didn't even "looked like" instead of "look like" is not a good look in that career.
@@lovepink2078 One, i’m just a person who made type errors. Two, i’m not a native english speaker or a westerner, i’m Asian. Don’t be a narrow minded person that thinks english is the only language. I dare you spell and make a perfect grammar in my language Nihongo (atleast kanji and kana) & filipino (tagalog and ilocano)
@@ShadowFungus I didn't consider that you might be a foreigner so I apologize. We have a surge of people in the west who have been lying on the internet for clout while dropping out of school with the grammar of a toddler and it infuriates alot of us. We have no hate for foreigners.
This is beyond amazing! I live in qld Australia & we travel a lot! So much awesome species out there & im in love with this little frog ❤
Bro I'm Australian and didn't know about these! Thanks! Awareness is important for little guys like this!
THE MOST MAGICAL POTATO FAIRY OF THEM ALL!!! That speckling of gold dust on it is so incredibly pretty! AND THAT PRECIOUS FACE 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️ I'm so in love!!!
As an Australian, i can attest we have the wierdest and most interesting wildlife in the world, thought I'd seen it all til i saw the turtle frog 😂 great find guys 👍
wrong, yall lack large land predators other than drop bears
@@Bahamut69he said weirdest and most interesting animals, it doesn’t have to be big to be interesting??
@@Bahamut69Lmao I hope you realise that drop bears don’t actually exist and it’s just a thing we tell tourists to scare them off 😂
Here in America we have Beach whales on the beaches that wear sweaters
@@sakuralegend1156I'm not too sure what tourist believe that anyways
I don’t know what’s cuter, the man who is so excited to find the frog or the little turtle frog. He does look quite unusual. What a cute little chub. I got so excited when after it rained in Arizona these soft little frogs come out of the ground. They too were adorable. The soil here is not so soft. I was amazed that they could burrow into the soil.
what a cute frog! keep up the amazing videos!
I've never buried my face so close to the screen and smiled like a maniac. This close up HD video of a pink Kirby like 5 cm. frog bring me so much joy that I'll take it as my favorite Christmas gift this year.❤❤❤
thank you for the comment, this really has been a life long dream to see this frog and I'm so glad we got to share it with everyone over the holidays

This video brought my husband and I such joy. Thank you for sharing this wonderful little creature with us!
What a creature! At first I was a little off put, what with him looking like Mr. Krabs without his shell, but that lil face is so adorable!
I really like frogs but that turtle frog is so cool and very unusual I've never seen one before definitely the coolest frog of all the species what an interesting find wow
It's so much smaller than I expected! Really cute frog. Thanks for everyone's hard work getting this footage!

Hey Mark!! That was epic!!😮
Seeing you guys enjoy teaching about nature/animals and the excitement/nervousness like a kid on christmas is so amazing to see :) Really brightens my day and makes me happy seeing the animals you find too and the respect you give them
Thanks! I'm still here with you with the Adventures Mark. Ever Since The Start....keep it up
Animals have fascinated me for over 60 years ! It is even more astonishing to discover new species now and surprising to better see known species already photographed but difficult to film and which still need to be studied in more detail. Provided that we can preserve them in their country and their original ecosystems!
what a cutie pie❤ and as someone who owns turtles & tortoises,i can definitely see the cuteness & the resemblance it has to a turtle,i love toads and frogs and iguanas,chameleons, beardies,lizards...etc,NO snakes,i hate them and wish they would all disappear!! i guess you finding this very cute turtle frog is like me going into the wilderness and finding a galapagos tortoise😮😮 my dream would be to look upon the gentle giants,the dinosaurs of modern day every morning...the different subspecies of galapagos and aldabra tortoises 🐢i'm lucky enough to have 2 red eared sliders,1 yellow belly slider,1 african sideneck turtle, 1 mud turtle,1 russian tortoise,1 redfoot tortoise and 1 african spur thighed tortoise/sulcata💚🐢thank you for sharing this beautiful & exciting adventure with the world😎
I like how when he first finds the frog he starts laughing at it as the frog is just sitting there like “hey”
This is the most adorable frog ever. Lil pudgy blob
It never gets old watching people get so excited finding a specific species of animal 😂❤🎉 “OH GOD THERE HE IS!” that frog has no idea how amazing he is to someone❤
Mark, this video genuinely came out excellent. It did a very good job balancing aspects of older BW wildlife adventure content while also being fast pace and more fit for modern KZhead. You are definitely on the right track with this one, and if y'all keep targeting very unique animals to introduce to your audience, I guarantee it'll be great. WELL DONE :D
It's so amazing channels like this exist. Usually to make a discovery and film such a rare animal could only be done by the likes of Nation Geographic. Love that we get to see this
Also it's amazing how they just let humans pick them up like that. Like it's probably never seen one on it's life and yet it's like, sure just hold me
What a quirky little flesh ball creature. I like it and wish it well.
Wow, I'm really impressed that was probably HARDER to find than a Needle in a hay stack.
i love how it has the little gold spots all over! honestly reminds me of a pokemon lol
I'm Australian and I didn't even know these existed! They're so cute, I love frogs 🐸
I swear nature drops some werid looking creatures.
Congratulations!! So happy that you were able to find this frog. Totally looks like an alien, but it’s so cute. Everything really came together for the right elements to find it. Super stoked for you. Hope you have a Merry Christmas 💜🐸🎄
that is by far the coolest frog I've ever seen even on video, and I'm a frog fanatic my self! the coolest frogs i've seen in person were the red eyed leaf frog and the gladiator frog!🔥
Bro I used to watch brave wilderness all the time,I’m glad they are still doing good!
What a neat creature. I'm so glad that you guys located him. Congratulations. A very blessed New Year to you and everyone on this thread.
This is absolutely incredible footage, I am so grateful to be able to experience this along with you
I think they also could be called "Bodybuilder Frog" or "Insanely cute Bodybuilder Frog" ...what a sweet creature and lovely to see you so excited, what a great experience it must have been, even for you, doing these things all the time.
15 years on this planet earth and I’m still seeing new species of animals I’ve never seen or heard of before.. Amazing 😻
Wow, that frog is really weird looking and cute. Thank you for presenting the little pink guy.
Congrats on being the first to film in high def of a turtle frog. I have never heard of this species and my god is it the most beautiful thing i have ever seen
The sweet enthusiasm is what brought me to Brave Wilderness, many years ago... but this frog looks like a tumour.
I came from frogs and toads country ( Cambodia ).But never in my life had I ever seen one so pretty in pink !!! 😁👍
Very cute and beautiful frog❤
Yes
It is actually cute
Yes
Frr
Very beautiful
What a gorgeous and unusual looking froggo. I actually look at videos of rain frogs all the time but this still looks so unique. Is there any other frog in the world that has a small head like this?
Asian banded bullfrog can qualified. Despite of the name it doesn't related to american bullfrog nor resemble it. It just so round with small head (actually plenty of burrowing frogs oddly have such appearance too. Smol head and round body)
What the world is a turtle frog!?
Crazy looking little thing. Absolutely adorable.👍🏼🤩🫡❤️
I love how there is so much suspense of the frog reveal and then a little pink boi comes out 😂😂😂
That´s so amazing! Thank you for the footage of this unique species. This absolutely made my holidays. Thanks again and merry Christmas.
I love the genuine excitement from finding the frog. You can really tell you guys love what you do very much. Thank you so much for bringing us the content that you do!
Absolutely Amazing! I collect frogs! Beautiful! My favorite is the Glass Frog!
Of all the species of frogs and amphibians I've ever seen, this was the most unusual! I had no idea these existed. Good job, guys!

So happy for you man
There are so many beautiful wonderful creatures in the world. They are all amazing!
I been watching this channel for so long this channel never gets old I been watching this channel for 6 years and I’m still here watching it I’m proud of you coyote Peterson and mark for taking on the most dangerous animals just for us😊
How can something be so ugly but so cute at the same time?
they really defy all things...miracles can happen! haha
Same phenomenon with pugs.
That spiny tailed gecko looks like blue the raptor from Jurassic world. What an amazing creature! ❤
Unbelievably cool. He didn't seem to mind being handled, to boot. They only live in that one, small part of Australia, only come above ground when it rains and won't come out even then unless it's nighttime... Pretty doggone specific little dude. It makes me wonder what else is out there that humanity has yet to discover.
I did a project on them back in middle school! I never heard anyone talk about them again after that, thank you for this video!
When you first found him, the look on your face and I felt your excitement. I feel that all the time.
