While I was at my parent's house, we found a frog in their backyard. I thought it was pretty odd to find a frog like this, considering they live in a desert.
I had always thought that frogs need some body of water for them to live in, and there wasn't any of that near my parent's home. It got me wondering where these frogs lay their eggs and how hard it would be for a frog like this to survive in the desert.
I have no idea what type of frog this is. Frogs are weird little animals. Their entire life cycle is pretty cool when you think about it. They start off as little tadpoles just swimming around in water, then they grow legs and move onto land for the remainder of their lives. It is pretty cool how they have adapted throughout time to be able to survive in those different places.
One thing I have never eaten before is frog legs. There isn't much meat on the legs of a frog and it makes me wonder how many frogs would have to die just to not be hungry. It also got me thinking if people eat the rest of the frog or if they only eat the legs. It seems kind of wasteful to just eat their legs, but the rest of the frog is so gross looking and they feel pretty gross as well. I don't think I could ever eat a frog because they are just so weird and nasty feeling.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures. If you have ever eaten frog legs, let me know. I would like to know if you liked them and what they tasted like. Probably tastes like chicken...

I also thought that frogs usually lived in humid and wetlands, but sometimes frogs can stray too far from their habitat. I remember seeing frogs in random places in the village, far away from the water. Or maybe it's a desert frog. I'm not sure if there is such a species XD
I looked up what a desert frog looks like and they don't look like this one. I wonder if it somehow traveled to this area when snow started melting and maybe it caught a ride down a river or something.
Years ago, my parents found a turtle in their backyard. We also live in high desert here in Colorado, and their house is nowhere near water.
I think there are some species of turtle naturally in the state, but based on what species he was and where he was, they guessed he had been someone's pet that was abandoned or lost. When they didn't find a human looking for a turtle, my aunt adopted him.
I wonder if this guy might have been a pet too?
Damn those are some nice shots. The eyes look really cool up close.
Thank you. I'm just glad it sat still long enough and allowed me to get pretty close for these shots.
I don't like frogs, snakes and other reptiles, but kudos to you for your courage and exceptional photography
Thank you. There isn't anything to be worried about with this little guy.
I'm also wondering what a frog is doing at the desert
I hope this kind of frog is not dangerous
I don't think it's dangerous. It didn't give me a rash or anything when we touched it.
great shots!!
Thanks
Frogs are weird and fun animals. Great details and such a small one.
It is so cute, I love the expressiveness
And it is not because I adore Kermit
Frogs are too cute to eat and chicken too (i have pet puppy hens)
You will be missed kermit the frog. Bless your soul.
perhaps not one of the hallucinogenic frogs. it would be interesting to take a trip to the world of dreams.😀
Except for the quality of the phenomenon of frog hunting and the placement of the subject, and the visibility of the photos and its light, as well as the focus of the camera is really beautiful. It is really uplifting to see a great photo. I can know the name of the camera and its lens.
que bella foto todo un arte
Thanks. You should try and catch the ones in your yard to get some cool pictures of them.
