FrogBat sighting

Post by BoyScoutGirl » Sat Nov 09, 2013 8:25 pm

Frog eating a bat = FrogBat?

Yes, I know that's a cane toad. Toads are frogs, so this counts.
When he lights his streetlamp, it is as if he brought one more star to life, or one flower.
When he puts out his lamp, he sends the flower, or the star, to sleep.
That is a beautiful occupation.

If toads are like humans, thats gonna make for one heck of a story over a couple of brewskis at the local watering hole. :mrgreen:

Do cats eat bats? Do cats eat bats? Do cats eat bats? Do bats eat cats? Do cats eat bats?

Bats are not a typical food item, but cane toads will eat most anything they can cram in their mouths, include rats, other amphibians, snakes, and so on. While not the largest species, cane toads do get huge:

Somewhere a Cajun is looking at that picture with a fork and epicurean lust. :mrgreen:
