Anonymous asked:
Are pit vipers called that because of their heat pits or is that just a fun coincidence? 😌🐍
Well sussed! Not all vipers have heat pits, and those who do are more closely related to each other than to other vipers, so the name is useful for more than just descriptive reasons, too.

I mean no disrespect to prior toads OK? But this lady has to be the cutest toad I've seen all summer. Looked and felt like a little ball of dough. VERY CUTE FACE! Tiny, unimpressive hops & no reaction to being lifted for pictures. Moved her off the trail and she just sat there. Amazing specimen & perfect in every way. I'll remember her forever

people who live in areas where there are native lizards should never take that for granted. you can just go outside and see a little guy hanging out. what’s better than that?
What’s better is when the little guy starts doing little pushups, to impress another little guy you haven’t spotted yet. Or possibly you.
