Panamanian Golden Frog

Atelopus zeteki

These guys are tiny. So small, in fact, that they’re born without eardrums. They use a form of sign language called semaphore to communicate with other frogs. This sign language involves waving hands and raising feet to greet each other, defend territory, or attract a mate. For example, male frogs will wave their arms to attract females, and females will wave back if they are interested.

Unfortunately, they’ve been extinct in the wild since 2007 due to the amphibian chytrid fungus but they’re being bred successfully in captivity.

Travis Stoll in my wips: I hope Connor is safe. I will literally fucking lose it if one more sibling of mine dies. I want my mom but I watched her die and my dad just basically told me to be the dad now, but i'm too much like him and I am barely hanging by a thread and want to run. I know i'm always smiling but the light inside me is dying, Percy/Thalia/Dad, I cant fucking do this no more im so tired.....*suddenly grins* I love my wife/Percy and snakes :)

Connor in my wips: *in a Burger king crown* Walking around New York with my boy twink situationship whom I piss off with Hamilton music (Malcolm), my besties (Lacy and Drew) and this satyr I found in detention with anxiety (oc: Satyr, they didn't ask his name) probably gonna go almost die or have an emotional breakdown about my sexuality on a roof to a Gigi Perez song! Travis, don't leave me ever🥺

I have slept on it and decided the greatest tragedy of the two scientists is that we all have been referring to them as birders for the last week when they were in fact herpers. RIP Hannah and Edwin. I'm so sorry. You didn't hike into the middle of no where to study an under documented and likely under researched species of frog that you probably had to fight tooth and nail to get funding for, and ultimately to be killed and eaten by a group of feral teenagers, only for a fandom like us to call you both two bit ornithologists

Yeah all tomorrows is fucked up but like. Those lizard wrangler guys kinda have it made. If an intergalactic empire fucked with my genetics and changed my species and then were like “hey fuckhead you’re going to have a deep emotional relationship with a bunch of lizards and your life purpose will be to look after them” I’d be like “hehe ok”

three more idv ocs of mine. all three of these googoos were very old characters that i decided to redesign and repurpose. theyre kind of a trio but also kind of not. yasu is a volunteer 'nurse' and psychology student but i couldnt call them the psychologist for obvious reasons lol

ps here's yasu's modern/human design for when theyre in fact not an idv oc

this evening I was attempting to explain the reality of cattle dogs to my best buddy from grad school, who is in no way a dog person and has never met Matilda. he does however have two small children and a functioning television, so he is familiar with Bluey. The show is... so funny to me, because it's influencing the associations people have with cattle dogs in a very distinct direction, and I had just finished showing him Dogs in Elk today...

which is how I came to describe the Australian Cattle Dog thusly:

cattle dogs are like really intense field herpetologists. very energetic, very captivated by motion, fast thinkers and often pretty impulsive. steve irwin kind of dogs.

[scrollingfan]

Yeah whatever man. I'm just drawing reptiles.

Being a zoologist will have you experiencing several brand new human interactions, such as people asking if you want a frog mummy, or sending professional emails to experts you respect to ask about their knowledge on identifying frog mummies.
