Cool! We've only got just limited amphibians here. Wish we had more! BTW, I was wondering about the term "frog strangler" used for periods of excessive rainfall. It turns out that frogs have lungs to use when on land and also can get oxygen through their skin. But they can drown if in water that lacks enough oxygen or when too much water gets into their lungs. Poor things! I've seen baby toads that drowned in containers of water...I guess they landed in there and couldn't get out. Maybe the same thing.
I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
