Re: Frogs - not French :-)
 

LOL, No kids there to be saying that but the Mrs was :)

Re: Frogs - not French :-)
 

Well done rescuing it but maybe you should have kissed it and found your prince, that froglet is a toadling, they have had a bad year and every one saved is great for the environment, well done you:thumbsup:
Brilliant pictures by the way, if you look closely you can make out tiny bumps over it (sure sign its a toad)

Re: Frogs - not French :-)
 

How can you tell a toad from a frog, it's something I've always wondered. :confused:

Re: Frogs - not French :-)
 

Frogs are usually smooth.Toads have lumps and bumps.:)

Re: Frogs - not French :-)
 

Yeah but you can't see smooth or lumps and bumps in K.S.H's picture so how's todbear managed to tell them apart?

Re: Frogs - not French :-)
 

Look closely at the top picture you can see small tiny lumpy bits.And its skin is not smooth and shiney:)

Re: Frogs - not French :-)
 

Yeah but K.S.H said it had been playing in some grit ..... I'm sorry I just don't get it with telling them apart ......... TINKERBELLE <<<<< is a thicko :D

Re: Frogs - not French :-)
 

frogs tend to be slightly more green coloured and toads are more brown coloured, I have been watching them leaving the canal from my boat, I took loads of photos but none were a patch on that one. One morning there were dozens climbing the side of the canal and moving into little holes I shall put one of my pics up but they are not very good

Re: Frogs - not French :-)
 

Good stuff,I used to have a pet one in a vivarium.It was an Argentinian Hornback.I found him uniqe he actually ate mice not just insects(locusts etc)

Re: Frogs - not French :-)
 

Would now be a good time to tell people you got sweaty eyes when he died? ........ No? ......... OK I won't ;) :D

Re: Frogs - not French :-)
 

here is one picture please bear in mind I am hanging over the side of the boat and had to use flash as it was dark down there, the picture has been cropped to show up the toads so definition is not good

Frog trivia question

Where in the world is the only place where the indiginous frogs make a ribbit, ribbit noise?

Re: Frogs - not French :-)

Re: Frogs - not French :-)
 

ahhh its lovely.. we got loads of baby frogs down our allottment im always frightened of standin on em but i learnt only today that the are brilliant for keeping the slugs and other pests away from the veg ..oooh what a coincidence theres a thread come up about em

Re: Frogs - not French :-)
 

Too late, you already have:o LOL

Re: Frogs - not French :-)
 

Is that near Hollywood?

The reason that the noise ribbit ribbit has become known as the noise that all frogs make is because there was a film many years ago that had frogs in. Because the film was in Hollywood they used ribbit ribbit frogs and everyone began to believe that all frogs make that noise.

Re: Frogs - not French :-)
 

No its not Gayle Hollywoods on the opposite coast in Los Angeles California never mind.:)

Re: Frogs - not French :-)
 

Geography of America is not my strongest point but let's face it, at least I know America exists, can't say the same about most Americans knowing England exists.

Anyway, Hollywood is the answer.

Hey todbear, good sharing of knowledge (and pictures too!). My favorite "animal" hobby has always been reptiles and amphibians. I used to try my mom crazy with all the various creatures I'd bring home especially frog and toad eggs and tadpoles. 45 years later and I've found myself teaching my kids and their friends about them from my own 8 X 10 foot "pond." I love to spend the end of the day watching this small habitat (also includes some painted turtles, goldfish, newts, and crayfish.

used to be my fave thing too when we had a pond, the grass used look like a moving black carpet when the tiny wet frogs left the pond. Thanks for the kind words, it is nice to know folk are out there teaching their kids to care about nature
