They completely missed the opportunity to say a new frog was spotted. My disappointment is imeasurable, and my day is ruined.
Probably theyre just dappling in biology.
That may be the case, and I don’t want to make light of the situation, or cast shade on their headline writing abilities, but I wanted to make a point that there was a better option.
So like…they did this on Wednesday on purpose, right my dudes?
It instantly became a wednesday the moment they published it.
Was a thursday before, and now everyone has to work an extra day. Those toad guys are weird 🙄

You can’t just introduce the word toadlet to people without warning
Toadlet sounds like the evolved form insult of toad.
“That guy is such a toadlet, gives me the creeps.”

Is this saying that these species give birth to live babies, as opposed to laying eggs?
yes i looked on google search, and they give birth to live toadlets, rather than spawning as an egg. apparently its very uncommon for amphibians to do this.
't would appear so!
Is that not unique in the entire world of amphibians? I was under the impression all amphibians laid eggs.
It’s a form of ovovivipary so it’s not that crazy, they basically just keep the eggs inside of them instead of laying them.
I mean, to be fair, so do humans…
No, humans use a placental system, they do not put all the energy required for the offspring into the egg initially. It’s not really the same at all.
Per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frog
“Being oviparous anamniotes, frogs typically spawn their eggs in bodies of water. The eggs then hatch into fully aquatic larvae called tadpoles, which have tails and internal gills. A few species lay eggs on land or bypass the tadpole stage altogether.”
So maybe not the first, but I am no frogologist.
I am no frogologist
I believe the term is herpetologist. :)
I had to see a herpetoligist after my ex gave it to me
…oh dear…
I think you can get an OTC cream for that.
Close, but he’s actually called Herbie Tonojizz and he’s a really sweet guy who loves pineapple!
There are also fish that give live birth, so I wouldn’t be that surprised if some amphibians do so as well
Fish are way more diverse than amphibians tho, there’s fish that breath air.
There’s also amphibians that breathe air
Toads are the marsupials of the amphibian world.
NEW TOAD NEW TOAD NEW TOAD
TOAD! TOAD! TOAD! TOAD!
Babe, new toad just dropped.
I think he meant Toadlers. But I could be wrong.
I also described some frog species, described them “cool as fuck”
Anyone got the link to the paper?
Thank you!
Get them to the front lines immediately!
Weird, I though toads were endemic to the Americas for some reason
(But they’re on every continent except Antarctica so wtf do I know)
That one on the bottom left looking like James Toad asking for a Martini to be shaken (which is the default method)
Default method used to be stirring, some people claim that shaking bruises the gin and ruins the flavor. It tastes like pinesol to me either way.
