Hoorah For Frogs!

[shanmonster]

Have I ever told you how much I like frogs? Well, I like this guy three times as much as a regular frog! I like toads, too, but I haven't seen any that can sing in three-part harmony.

A year or two ago, I went to my parents' place, and a fat little toad sat on the road out in front. I leaned down to look at him, and he stared up at me without blinking. I reached down to scoop him up, and the poor little guy screamed in terror! I apologized to him, set him back down, and let him continue sitting there, unblinking.

But getting back to frogs, have you ever heard of a purple frog? I hadn't until just a moment ago.

This summer, I definitely want to go frog-watching and frog-catching. It's been far too long....

I love amphibians. :) Our firebelly toads just passed away a couple of months ago and I'm still mourning the little babies.

Poor little buddies!

Maybe this A slideshow can help cheer you!

Awww...tanx, that was adorable. :)

I wonder what they looked like in tadpole stage?

There was a stagnant creek that ran in my backyard growing up, I loved catching tadpoles and raising them into froggies when I was a kid. I would name them cuz they would develop different things at different times, some would grow rear legs first, front first, or just one leg at a time. I had a pink baby crawfish at one point as well. :)

I'm glad someone had the presence of mind
to photograph. I can't believe they let it
get away! It's going to breed armies of
three headed frogs, all smarter than humans,
with three brains with which to think and
learn!
