Back in spring 2006, Artemis got something from our backyard. It was a striped marsh frog (Limnodynastes peroni), our regular spring visitors in our scrubby little pond. It was unfortunate for her that its skin was poisonous and frothed her mouth and it took a couple of times she caught it until she learned the lesson.
They’re such beautiful frogs, in my opinion. And it’s pleasing to hear his or her call each day, and the others nearby responding. “Tok… tok… tok…”
Do they do that when they get horny?
well, that’s why really we should not be allowing cats and dogs, that is, if we expect the native animals to once again flourish in our urban environments…
Should we domesticate native animals?
