Ajar Setiadi is a photographer from Indonesia who photographs nature is the most raw, exciting, and interesting way. One day, he found frogs trying to escape from the rain and this observation turned into a bunch of amazing photographs.

As big nature photography lovers, we at Bright Side could not hide this from you and decided to show you how these fascinating frogs tried to hide from the rain.

Although a lot of frogs like water and can actually live in water habitats, it seems like this is not the case for all of them, especially the ones here.

These tree frogs were trying to stay dry, so they started to use flowers as their umbrellas. Frogs are very adaptable animals and will try to sue anything as a shelter, like under tools, inside containers, and, in this case, under plants.

The frogs would climb from one plant to another and try to escape from the water as much as they could.

According to the photographer, these animals were so clever that they would get as close to the petals as they could, so they could stay out of the rain.

He adds that it is also interesting the way “they can stay stick to the stems for such a long time.”

Here are some stories of animals who were smart enough to solve their own or other animals problems:

“I am hard of hearing and partially disabled, so we bought a rescue cat to keep me company as I worked from home. She quickly learned that I can’t hear her, especially when she’s behind me, so she walks up to the side of my chair, gets up on her back paws, and then waves a front paw as high as she can, with her ‘toes’ splayed, to get my attention.” © TrogdorLLC/reddit

“Our neighbors had 2 dogs, one of which only had 3 legs. My dog and their dogs loved to play together. I guess one day they got bored of playing in their yard and wanted to come enjoy ours, but since the dog with 3 legs could not jump over the fence, they all worked together to literally move the stacks of firewood to make a stair-like system for the other dog to walk on. Everyone was amazed.” © 44cents2freedom/reddit

“My house has one of those water cooler things you see in offices. One day, my family was out of the house, doing whatever. When we get back home, we found that our dog had push her bowl over to the cooler and was now pushing the buttons to get water from it.” © poko610/reddit

“I had a Lab Greyhound mix that was by far the smartest dog I’ve ever had. We put in one of those invisible fences with a shock collar system so we could let her out for a few minutes, without having to watch her every time we did. She figured out that if she just took a nap near the fence, the collar’s battery would die from the warning beeps it would make. Brilliant.”

“My cat gets really embarrassed when he hacks up a hairball. He will sit there looking very sad until it’s cleaned up. Well, one day I was at work when he threw one up, and since there was nobody in the house to clean it up for him, he tried to clean/cover it up it on his own. He found one of my dirty socks I kicked off the day before, unrolled it, and then neatly placed it over the hairball. I still ended up stepping in it though.” © GreasyTengu/reddit

“My male Quaker parrot managed to get out of his cage one day and had free roam over the entire house. He stole every pen, pencil, and hair tie he could find and built a nest in the corner of his cage. When we tried to take it down, he guarded it with his life and screeched at us. We got him a few boxes of pencils the next day and let him remodel as much as he wanted.”
