If you can't handle it, go home and be a family frog.

Well said. One teensy problem though. Toads and frogs are amphibians, not reptiles. The two are ever so slightly different.

"Bufo surdus" - I am become deaf. Quite the ubiquitous little toad, they're found in Iran (obviously), Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. They're especially prevalent in the Kirkuk region of Iraq. So much so that US soldiers often report them hanging out in old drain pipes. (Note: Iz not spy, iz fren. No shoot plz)

Welp, this has got to be some kind of record. Only a few days into the new year, and we already got an incipient plague in China, and we're on the brink of WW III.

On a positive note, if war does break out, I have every confidence that @famousone will save us. I'd fight myself, but I'm too green for the battlefield.

I don't think you need to worry. There are over 6000 species of frogs. So, if I were to post 1 a day, it would take about 13 years to run out. Even then, frogs may be limited, but frog memes are eternal.

"Ranoidea moorei" - also know as Moore's frog. How they got their name should be fairly obvious. But why 'motorbike' and not 'motorcycle?' Well, because they're Australian. More specifically they're found in southwestern Australia (you can hear their calls if you live in Perth) Despite being tree frogs (sticky toe pads and all that) they spend most of their time on the ground. (Sometimes they congregate into gangs, such as the infamous Perth's Angels)

I know it may come as a surprise to no one, but I think Pepe more than deserves the spot (or at least a mention) I mean he went from being labelled a hate symbol to actually being a symbol of hope for people fighting against one of the worst regimes on Earth. That's truly inspiring.

New year, new frogs. My Froggo Fren series focused on showcasing frog species with the occasional meme, and it will still be that. This series however will be all about the memes, featuring real frogs or otherwise.
***
Also, I might not be able to post as often as I did (New Year resolutions to attempt to keep, and fail, and all that) But hopefully this new series will make up for it.
***
All the best! And don't worry, I'm sure this year will be great. (I know 'cause I got 2020 vision)

Christmas is over,
And I feel a bit blue.
But this frog sure doesn't,
How about you?
*
The year is fading,
Just like a sun setting.
Yet a new dawn approaches
With newfound adventures.
*
So don't cry, don't weep,
Do not shed a tear.
Look back on your memories,
And see you next year.
***
Also, Happy Kwanzaa/Boxing Day!

Froggo Fren #77 - Xmas Frog 2 comments

"Raorchestes shillongensis" - yup, that's what they're really called. Other names include the Shillong bubble-nest frog and the Shillong bush frog. Despite their festive-sounding name, these frogs have very little to celebrate, as they are critically endangered. They're only found in a very small area in Shillong, in north-eastern India. However, they were made famous by being the subject of a documentary called 'Thumbelina - the story of an Xmas Frog' (Let's wish them a Merry Xmas, but hopefully not farewell)

Yeah, I probably should have explained the pic. The pictured specimen is a Cuban tree frog (Osteopilus septentrionalis). They swallowed a Christmas light while hunting a bug (the bug was attracted to the light) But not to worry, the guy who took the pic managed to pull the light out the frog, and the frog thankfully was no worse for wear. (I guess you could say, they're not fond of light snacks)

Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the sub,
Not a poster was stirring,
Not even @zont.
*
The Padorus were all
Downvoted with glee,
Cause no one does like them,
Apparently.
*
The subbers were curled up
All snug in their beds,
While templates of memes
Danced in their heads.
*
But one little frog
Was posting again
And tagging some users
Who upvoted him.
*
@xvarnah, @catfluff, @mrscollector,
@dr_richard_ew (probably not a real doctor)
@nelson, @mialinay, @captainjackharknes,
@snowbeast, and @cryoenthusiast.
*
The frog looked over some posts
And thought "What a nice site.
Merry Christmas to all,
And may your memes all be tight!"

Why, yes indeed. This one is called Ursula. She sees you when you're sleeping. (Pic dug up from the deepest depths of Reddit)

Bet you didn't know there were Jewish frogs, did you? Well, that's because there aren't. Frogs are not known for being particularly religious. Still, that doesn't mean they can't enjoy some latkes, and play a game of dreidel.

"Phyllomedusa sauvagii" - recently escaped from Madame Tussauds, these frogs prefer not to partake in primate puns. Therefore I refrain from monkeying around. They live in the Gran Chaco, a semi-arid lowland plain which covers parts of Bolivia, Paraguay, Argentina, and Brazil. Despite the harshness of their environment, they don't let it dampen their holiday spirit. Largely because they have other adaptations to keep themselves moist in their dry habitat, such as lipid secretion through their skin, and going into a state of torpor during the day. (And no, they will by no means wax your monkey)
