Bullfrog tadpoles.Messing around with nature can really screw up the balance in an otherwise stable ecosystem. Take Fergus the bullfrog for example. When he was first released into a small backyard pond, he was a cute little tadpole just living his life. Two years later he was a voracious predator.
Fergus the bullfrog, looking hungry.Then you might want to listen to the new episode of my podcast This Birding Life available from Podcast Central on the Bird Watcher's Digest website. This episode is called "Paradise Lost" and features Julie Zickefoose reading from her best-selling book Letters From Eden.
Episodes of TBL are also available from the iTunes Store. Just click on 'podcasts' and search for This Birding Life.
This Birding Life is sponsored by Houghton Mifflin and hosted on the Web by Bird Watcher's Digest.
Nice story (but of course you knew that!)
ReplyDeleteAs I listened my mind came up with the spurious thought of a version of Watership Down with frogs instead of rabbits, and Fergus as General Woundwort.

ReplyDeleteAhhh, Fergus. I could read it again and again.
ReplyDeleteI dunno, you have to have some range to play a bullfrog.
