The shed out on the back forty of Walkabout Estates has been decorated with various beachy-themed items, which the green treefrogs approve of – they’re all on the shaded side of the shed, forming a flat vertical surface close to the wall that provides the ideal hidey-hole for treefrogs.

And that’s if I’m even reading the literature – since I’m not subscribed to any biological journals, what it usually takes is doing a specific search to see if those silly biologists have decided to change the name yet again<\/em>. I hate having to do a search every time, but it’s starting to look prudent, at least. Though I doubt anyone is coming here expecting perfect scientific accuracy…<\/p>\n
