rana esculenta
rodent-hole (now rana esculenta hole)
from my previous spotting from hole. i first would say it occupied from a rat. But when i was home and looked at the pictures (quality-control) i saw something on the first picture wich doesn't ressemble a mouse or rat or even a "rodent". on the first picture i get the impression that i see an crab/scorpion-claw. maybe crabs live here but no scorpions. it was 2-3 meter from a lttle river in a leave forrest. therefore i'm really stunned by the one picture, but most likely that it just looked like a artropod-claw and is just a leave.

yes, malcom with your comment , there was a little light going on. it is an frog, what we see. the right after and front legs. and the colors (even through i dont see him complet, let me think at the here common "edible frog- rana esculenta. thanks - mystery solved
crab or lobster? Do not disregard as leaf!!
I think it looks more like two legs of a frog or toad, too close together for a lizard. All three use any hole they can find to shelter but don't make their own afaik.
