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
