Buffy there has been very FROGGISH with the panels so I'm just hopping in here with some TOADALLY TOAD trivia. Let's learn about toads! [b]Sunday's trivia:[/b] Most toads eat insects and other arthropods. However, some species eat reptiles, small mammals, and even other amphibians. So be careful to keep your toads separate from your familiars that could be in danger of being eaten! [center][item=toad][item=ember mouse][/center] [b]Monday's TOAD trivia: [/b] The collective name for a group of TOADS is a 'knot' of TOADS. Is this a knot of tadpoles? [item=strangling root] [b]Tuesday's TOAD trivia: [/b] Kids 'getting under your skin?' Suriname toads, also known as Star-fingered toads ([i]Pipa pipa[/i]) are best known for their remarkable reproductive habits. The larvae develop through to the tadpole stage inside pockets in the female's back, eventually emerging as fully developed toads, though they are less than an inch long (2 cm). Once they have emerged from their mother's back, the toads begin a largely solitary life. [center][item=wartoad trainee][item=molten tadpole][/center] [b]Wednesday's TOAD trivia:[/b] Toads’ eggs are attached to grass or leaves near water edges, in long parallel strands that resemble strands of black beads. These are Cane toad eggs. [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/Azd8OsG.jpg[/img][/center] [center][size=1]from www.frogsafe.org.au/cane_toads/toad_frog.shtml [/size][/center] [b]Thursday's TOAD trivia:[/b] According to Wikipedia, a true toad is any member of the family Bufonidae, in the order Anura (frogs and toads). Now you know where Bufo and Anura got their names!

Football??? American football: the ball with the points. Frogs tend to hop in long leaps while toads usually walk or run. Frogs have many predators while toads have very few. But neither frogs nor toads will give you warts! That's just a myth! [size=1](Today's trivia from Kidzone.ws)[/size] [center][item=molten wartoad][item=wartoad][/center] [b]Saturday's TOAD trivia:[/b] Horny Toads are not toads or frogs - they are lizards. Horned lizards is a more correct common name. But what are these? [img]http://flightrising.com/images/cms/familiar/art/17495.png[/img]
