Most of you guessed reptile, or crocodile, or crocodile’s eye for this image.
I can see that, it does look a bit like a crocs brow and eye. But it isn’tWell you were right that it was an animal, but it is neither scaly nor a reptile.
It is an ear not an eye and an amphibian not a reptile!
As Michelle Teacress guessed it is a frog
I snapped this little guy last spring at the Yea wetlands. Despite the fact he was on the ground he is a tree frog. He is one of those species that has a few common names, Peron's Tree Frog, the Emerald Spotted Tree Frog, the Laughing Tree Frog or the Maniacal Cackle Frog (Litoria peronii).Yea is the southern part of their range, they are common across a large area of SE Oz. We used to get these guys hanging around on our windows when we lived in southern Queensland. They would catch moths and other insects that were attracted to our lights. They can walk across a window pane using those sticky pads on their toes. Clever!

With a nickname like Maniacal Cackle Frog, I had to go find a video with their call on it. Hilarious!

we have little tree frogs here that I find on our glass door, just hanging out. Peepers, we call them. Can't wait to hear them. It will mean spring is coming :)
Maniacal Cackle Frog? What a great name for an ugly little guy!
He looks much less intimidating from a distance.
Great name!
Wow, a frog? I would never have guessed that. I thought it was the eye of some reptile.

*patting self on the back* (except that I forgot a frog is not a reptile - doy)
