WE’RE JUST GRATEFUL amphibians don’t have opposable thumbs, otherwise the frogboys out back would be playing this computer game day and night.

THE BBC RECENTLY REPORTED some great news: A record number of amphibians have been saved in this year’s annual closing of Charlcombe Lane in Bath, England. Since 2003, the busy road closes during peak amphibian mating season to allow the local frogs and toads the chance to cross to a nearby pond unscathed. Volunteers even gather to scoop up the amphibians and carry them to safety in buckets. While 678 toads, 94 frogs, and 67 newts were helped across the road in 2003, those numbers more than tripled in 2009. This year 1,991 toads, 568 frogs and 289 newts were saved. Yippee!

DESPITE WEIGHING JUST 3 GRAMS and being only an inch long, the poison-dart frogs pack a punch. Thanks to the Oregon Zoo.

HE MUST HAVE TAKEN A look at his reflection in the pond. Uh oh, now he knows he’s not like the other frogs. What he doesn’t know is that this double-color skin tone shouldn’t last for too much longer. Poor guy.

TALK ABOUT A HIBERNATION! Now that spring is here, these amazing amphibians should be stretching their limbs and waking up any day now.
