Can you guess what I got?

Wow! That's amazing! Adaptable little critters. My American toad used to hibernate. He'd dig himself a little hole in his substrate and only the top of his head would peek out. It was funny to watch him dig his little fanny in.

Wow Autumn I didn't know you live in Alaska! How cool is that! But -60', brrr! I have goosebumps just thinking about it, lol! Isn't is beautiful there? Do you see the orcas?

Yep, I live in Pa. Only a little over an hour from Buffalo. The falls are beautiful, but the Canadian side is even more beautiful. I live right near lake Erie. 5 minutes away from the peninsula.

Sorry to drift off the topic, oops! Lol!

I know aren’t they! Hahaha, funny toad…..my juvenile Wood frog does the same thing; it must be instinctual for certain amphibians to bury themselves or they have a chemical change in their body that prompts them to do so. Either way, it’s entertaining to watch, except when he stays under the soil and moss for days and I have to take apart the tank to uncover him so he can eat :P.

Yup, living in Alaska is pretty amazing! And once you live here for a while, -60 F doesn’t seem to be a bother lol; but on very rare occasions the town does shut down due to the weather or cold (and when you need crickets for your frogs, that’s bad)! And yes, it is gorgeous here….so much wildlife and the mountains! My family and I used to live on the coast when we first moved here in 1996. We lived in Ketchikan and saw all kinds of sea life: orcas, humpbacks, bald eagles, seals, fish, and much more. Now we live in the Interior in the city of Fairbanks, which is close to Denali National Park. We have an awesome view of the Alaskan Range. We see tons of moose, foxes, all types of birds, on occasions wolves and bears, and of course lots of Wood frogs lol! Fall is the prettiest time of year with all the red, orange, yellow, and golden colors.

I bet where you live is beautiful too, especially the Canadian side J! To stay somewhat on topic lol, what kind of amphibians live there?

Sadly no, I haven’t seen any polar bears . They mostly live within the Arctic Circle and I have not had the chance to go there. Maybe one day, hopefully. Oh yeah, and even the Wood frog lives within the Arctic Circle too! It’s amazing how adaptable frogs are and where they live. Nope I don’t think you missed anything lol J Except maybe bathrooms—there is a frog in Australia that lives in peoples bathrooms—but that could placed under cities lololol

Autumn you are right they live in the toilet bowl. Some guy put his hand in the toilet to get the wtf. lol I saw it on utube. lol. Thats down under.

[frogluver]

Totally!,....I've never seen or heard about a frog in a toilet lol....the frog must have been trying to be more human hahaha!! You should give me the link to the video, if you can .

[Heatheranne]

Lol! Could you imagine? Going to the BR to p and "croak" coming out of the toilet? Ha ha!

Wow! I would be in my glory in Alaska then. Minus the cold. I love nature and absolutely love the critters of the sea. That's awesome! I'm so jealous, lol!

The seasons are pretty here too. We have lots of critters here too. I am new to knowing all of the scientific names by heart, but a few of my favorites are the red spotted newt, the slimy salamander, mudpuppies, American toad (bufo americanus), we have tons of little peepers although I don't know which kind bc you can hear them but I rarely see them, lots of bullfrogs, snapping turtles, the pond slider turtle. That's a few anyway. We have lots of dear, bears, raccoons, chipmunks, squirrels, ground hogs, bobcats, etc. But nothing as exciting as there. There are lots more salamanders and newts but I am in a suburban area so I don't see them unless we go camping.

I wouldn't say that . Sounds like you have plenty of Friends up there your self.lol You are bless and autumn too.

Lolol funny !!

Yeah, most people are lol....maybe you could visit Alaska one day ! You have a large variety of animals and herps!! All the frogs, turtles, salamanders, and newts....that's amazing. I especially love the call of the spring peeper; too bad we don't have any up here. We have a red bellied salamander in the tropical coastal region of Alaska though.

Sounds like you guys are just hitting it off. I have a question directly for Autumn, I haven't been reading through all your guys continuous posts... But did you say you caught your wood frogs or they're cb?

Yeah lol!!! So Mark, I actually captured my Wood frogs near a pond close to where I live. I had to have a permit from fish and game to acquire them though. I have not yet heard of captive bred wood frogs, but that is something I would like to try . Maybe after I complete my experiment on Wood frog vocalizations, will I try to breed some.

[Sublime]

That's cool, I could picture you with all the patience just waiting to catch those. Do it! When your on the news, just remember my name . Did you get your frogs tested for chytridiomycosis or any other diseases?
