Yep. The tadpoles have started to frog.
Did you notice how I just verbed the word “frog”?
That isn’t correct. But that is because these are toads, not frogs. However, if I say “The tadpoles have toaded”, it just doesn’t have the same ring to it. Know what I mean?
Anyway, here is the tadpole tank, with a rock in it for the toads to sit on.
Here are the tadpoles.
And here is the toad, sitting high and dry on the rock.
It is a tiny little thing, but it is a real toad. Take a closer look.
Reminds me of a MuppetĀ®.
DG was surprised to see how small they are.
Yep, it’s a real, live toad.
We released it into the yard to go eat bugs and grow. The toads do grow big and fat in our yard. I will try to catch a photo of a grown-up next time I see one.
