Talking Re: Frogs are amazing

I have hunted & eaten hundreds of bullfrogs and per se, their legs, for more decades than I care to recount. Contrary to popular myth, they don't taste like chicken! they taste like fish & have the texture of chicken.

My most unusual frog encounter involves actually the tadpole of a rare frog. Being the only frog tadpole species to have a "sucker-like" mouth, I mistook them for leaches when I encountered them on the Green Fork River in the Gifford Pinchot national Forest in Washington State USA in the year of 1,992 years before the common era. I have since learned they develop into the rare Tailed Frog which inhabits a narrow band of territory extending along the Pacific NW regions of British Columbia & the United States.
I visited the area recently on a scientific Sasquath expedition, however I saw no tadpoles in the Green Fork; likely too early in the season as my previous sighting occured in July.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
