I don’t know why, but I felt a need for this video.
They live in the desert and come out when it rains. There is something fairy-like about them, don’t you think? But the “potato” part… Did they remind someone of little round potatoes?
I’ve had many frogs and toads as pets; but none of them ever yawned like this potato fairy.
I know, I know, you’ll think I’m crazy–but these are adorable, these little frogs. They’re from Africa, and they’re called “rain frogs” because they only come out of their burrows when it rains–no sitting out there on the lily pads for them. They’re also called “potato fairies.” Honk if you can figure that out.
Jambo, everybody! Mr. Nature here–with a tiny African frog that sounds just like a dog’s squeaky-toy.
Actually, this frog is angrily defending his territory. He needs to work on his threat display. Puffing himself up, that’s a popular frog tactic. It’s the squeaking that makes him as cute as a button.
God’s stuff–it’s just way cool.
There! Did you hear that? These frogs are definitely saying “Biggit-biggit,” and not “Ribbit-ribbit” as so often described.
We know now that liberals and college students mindlessly imitate a frog’s mating call: Biggit-biggit-biggit. They think the frogs are on their side politically, calling everyone a bigot who doesn’t hop on board the Diversity Express and make his mind right..
It is said there is a species of cricket in southern Laos whose call sounds eerily like “Racist-racist-racist.” But it’s a much more common pest here than it is there.
