what i leaned about toads on the internet .....

https://birdwatchinghq.com/toads-in-louisiana/

here is one i missed on "wild kingdom" ...

The male toad will occasionally try to mate with another male, only realizing his mistake when he hears the other male toad’s warning chirp.

i have seen them mate. it is quite a party, but seriously , bufo, have you ever heard of adam and steve?

i've been calling these common toads "bufo" but they seem to have been reclassified Anaxyrus americanus by somebody who probably got close enough to catch warts.

political parallel with "gulf of america" style trumpist rebranding? memes from 2016 were all about a froggified trump. "many people are saying it might be a trumpified toad. "

there is a minty python scene. they are talking about birds. swallows?

And was that a turkey kinda flying? And also is that the same puma too or is there more than one? Didn't see any beavers though. The only thing I saw in multiples were the ducks. Was that spring thaw when the waterwas just gushing?

I couldn't see the cat's tail clearly but thought it looked long.
