Frogs

Caroline spotted some tadpoles in a pond and decided we needed to raise some. We caught about 6 total and two survived the assault. It has been pretty cool to watch the progression from tadpole to frog. This guy has matured more quickly than the other. I just checked him out and noticed that his eyes are starting to bulge onto the top of his head and he is hanging out more towards the top of the water of our makeshift pond. It is great to have the comparison going on as well; one just in the beginning stages of "puffiness" before getting it's legs and the other with a shrinking tail. At the beginning of this project, Caroline was told that the frogs would need to be released when mature; she is a reluctant, but we will begin scoping out a spot for "freedom day" either near the little stream by the front garden or the ponds we hike to at the back of the property. We'll see how that day turns out though.
