Frog seed update;

We have 2 with fully absorbed tails, one thats currently absorbing his tail after growing his front legs, and one lazy bastard who still only has hind feet.

Bonus game: find the second frog in the picture.

I let the rest of my frog friends go this morning. They are swimming free in the pond they were born in.

Final tiny sneak peek at my polliwog raising project. I know you all are just dying to see the whole process...Coming July 2021!

Wood Frogs

As far as amphibians go, wood frogs seem to be one of the most family oriented! They have a unique ability to recognize their family, and siblings will seek each other out to live together.

Kind of freaky, huh? But nature is as nature does and is nature.........

Creamers field nature walk. Part 3.

I love listening to the birds, ducks and wood frogs. But unfortunately Rigby was slightly panting in the background from the heat haha.

Every spring this wood path needs repairs and I honestly like having a challenge navigating the trail. :D

quack quack it���s FROG ORGY TIME

it really is that time

I counted at least 142 egg masses, which means there’s at least that many female frogs. Each egg mass contains up to 3,000 eggs. If we assume only 800-1,000 eggs per mass on average, there’s well over

If you've ever been unable to find a bathroom in a moment of need, you know the gotta-go feeling. That's nothing compared to the wood frog, which doesn't urinate all winter.

In Alaska, wood frogs go eight months without peeing. And scientists have now figured out how they do it, or more accurately, how they survive without doing it.

Recycling urea—the main waste in urine—into useful nitrogen keeps the small frogs alive as they hibernate and freeze, inside and out. It doesn't warm them up. Instead, urea protects cells and tissues, even as the critter's heart, brain and bloodstream stop.

The frogs can do it because special microbes in their guts recycle the urea, according to a new study in Tuesday's journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
