“Grrrrr, back off or I will lick you with my big blue tongue.”

I’m not sure the squeaky-toy defense is going to be much help against the dog-fox hybrid.

That blue- tongued skink would give me nightmares.

Is the hybrid called a “Dox” or a “Fog”?

An 80 year old man is out by a pond one day when a frog jumps onto a lily pad nearby.

“Excuse me sir,” says the frog, “I know I may appear to be just a frog, but I’m actually a beautiful princess. A witch has placed a curse on me to keep me in this form. The only thing that can break this curse is a kiss. Sir, if you kiss me and break this curse, I’ll turn back into a beautiful princess and I’ll make love to you all day and night. So what do you say?”

The 80 year old man thinks for moment then picks up the frog and puts it in his pocket and continues on his walk.

“Didn’t you hear me?”, says the frog, “I said if you kiss me I’ll turn back into a beautiful princess and make love to you all day and night.”

“Eh”, says the man, “I’m 80 years old. At this point I think I’d rather have a talking frog.”

I wonder what sounds the frog makes when stepped on? Does it croak?

Translation of the frog’s squeak: “Mommy!”

When your defense is to become a squeak toy, nature has played a cruel, cruel trick on you.

I thought the halloween colors orange and black were the ones that were the most frightening

The Desert Rain Frog’s defense won’t work very well with dogs around.

Dessert Rain Frog wouldn’t want to do the squeaky toy sound around a Husky ……… that would be the quickest way to their end ……. ;)

It’s not surprising that the wild dog and the fox were able to breed. Both are of the biological family Canidae, subfamily Caninae.

Gives a lickin’ and keeps on tickin’.

Desert- rain, that’s an odd juxtaposition.

weird that’s what i do when I’m threatened too, frog.

Blue tongue snake wouldn’t scare me, but red would …
