We catch a lot of ugly beasts on The Reptile Show, most of them are dangerous, scaly and come equipped with teeth, claws and razor sharp jaws. But every once in a while we catch something cute...a little slimy...but in our books 10 buttons of cuteness. 
Today in a puddle behind the office I captured and relocated 4 Baby Bull Frogs. Fresh off their time as tadpoles these little hoppers were all sharing a puddle with about a gallons worth of water in it. 
A dangerous little scenario for these young amphibians because little did they realize...their current abode was right in the pathway of landscaper destruction. As a matter of fact, the puddle they called home sweet home was nothing more then a depression from a large lawnmower. 
Being the lover of critters that I am...it was with out question that these green micro frogs be relocated to a larger retention pond that is in the office complex. They were very happy to be let go in a new setting and will hopefully thrive and grow up to become monster sized Bull Frogs. As Kermit always said..."it ain't easy bein' green!" I'm Coyote Peterson and today...its The Amphibian Show!
