being a fantasy author with an veterinary science background is sometimes really awesome, but sometimes you're forced to consider super cursed concepts like: can dragons drop their tails like some other reptile species?

I decided no because they're such large creatures with such thick tails that the blood supply to the tail would be too massive and dropping the tail would lead to catastrophic blood loss. There ARE some larger lizards that can drop their tails under extreme circumstances, but it’s super risky and dangerous

I strived for perfection.

But my sight was too unjust.

What I made was warped and misshapen...

Hyloscirtus tolkieni

Also known as Tolkien Frog

A new species of frog has been described from the tropical Andes of Ecuador and was named after the well known fantasy author J.R.R. Tolkien.

The scientists who published the first description of the species (Juan C. Sánchez-Nivicela, José M. Falcón-Reibán, and Diego F. Cisneros-Heredia) said that they named the frog after Tolkien because “the amazing colours of the new species evoke the magnificent creatures that seem to only exist in fantasy worlds."

They also paraphrase The Hobbit in the introduction of their paper (see photo 4)

The adult frogs appear to be nocturnal animals
