| | | It's frog mating season
I drove over about 20 flattened frogs/toads on my way home last night. The road looked like a battle field.
So please be aware that frogs are out and about right now looking for the perfect spot to lay their eggs.

On a similar subject, I am happy that it is spring again with the birds singing outside | | This user would like to thank jeroen for this useful post: | |

Today I was driving in Winterthur, along a stream and I saw a frog crossing sign, I've never seen one before! Wonder if it's seasonal?

then I came around the corner and just as oly said it looked like a battlefield.. carnage everywhere... toads the size of serving platters  |

A couple of roads near the zoo are closed over night to let the frogs cross safely.

Great pic! I brought the children in my kindergarten class to the local pond last week, and the frogs were really going at it. Most of the children simply asked why they were hugging... a slightly more educated child was confused when several frogs were piled on top of each other, and said that his mummy told him that 'only two animals can have sex'  |

Stay away from ponds and streams. Anyway, frogs are important to the ecosystem, so we should be happy they're makin' whoopie. Or whatever it is they do.
