A Cause I Can Jump Behind

This weekend my father-in-law gave me this article from The Philadelphia Inquirer titled, "Zoos enlisted in a battle to save frogs"



Well, it is about time! Finally, a worthy cause that I can support. I'm not sure how I'm going to support it just yet, but when I decide, I'll let you know.

Find out what kind of a frog you are by taking this simple test.

I'm a Red Eyed Tree Frog, obviously! Like the Red Eyed Tree frog, my eyes turn red when I am angry, I am most active at night, and I only like to hang out with other Red Eyed Tree Frogs.

I'm a Red Eyed Tree Frog!

"Red-eyed tree frogs come from the warm and humid rain forests of Costa Rica in Central America. Some believe that their red eyes are a form of protection called "startle coloration". These frogs are very mellow during the day, and tend to be active only at night, so if the frog is awakened in the daytime, as might happen if a predator chanced upon it despite its excellent day time camouflage, the eyes pop abruptly open, hopefully startling the predator. This species tends to do better in a community of other red eyed tree frogs."
