Uh, someone ping @jpinard !

He’s gonna need a bigger bog.

Did that come from the eighth dimension? Looks familiar…

Criminy that thing is not normal!


Just read the article. Poor thing cannot metamorphose into a frog, so he’s stuck in tapdole mode forever. Amphibians are some of the most sensitive creatures to toxins. Many pollutants and trash contain chemicals that are hormone interrupters. They’re the canary in the coal mine for water/soil quality.

This article is a year old, wonder how it’s doing. As an aside, it’s heartening to find not one but two BB reference usernames in here. I should have registered as Perfect Tommy.

Frogs are cool. Giant tadpoles are creepy.

Creepy is right. If frogs were big enough I think they’d find humans a nice snack.

Frogs will eat whatever fits in their mouths, so yeah.

Their eyes actually contract into their heads to push food down their throats. That’s where the phrase, eyes are bigger than your stomach, comes from.

One of those things are true. Guess which?
