The only thing I do know is that it should have been green. Garden Boy ran excitedly to see the frog when Uncle H called him to the garden, but hung his head sadly when it turned out not to be his favourite colour.

Good question on frogs versus toads. I was going to go "toad" as I imagine frogs as rather more dainty.... but from these keys, http://www.kidzone.ws/lw/frogs/facts8.htm and http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/amphibians/frogs.shtml, it seems to have bulgy eyes and short legs. Did it hop or run? (or neither?!)
ReplyDeleteMight be on http://www.wildengland.com/wild-animals/pond-life ; as I'm officially meant to be doing something other than taxonomy I'll leave it there!!
huh.., green and brown is quite rare here in urban areas. Most are dull, brownish black.
ReplyDeleteHello I came to your blog from MKGs blog We have all sorts of colours of frogs on our plot - they are not always green. Frogs hop and toads crawl and toads have a more warty sking whereas frogs have a smooth skin. There are other differences too.
ReplyDeleteI have a website that has information on both if you are interestef just follow the links Toads and frogs
