Jul. 31st, 2008 01:40 pmThe last of my Red River Zoo set.

Fiddler Crab (Uca speciosa) - Disco crab is happy it's Saturday night.

Fiddler Crab (Uca speciosa) - I honestly expected our alien overlords to look, well, more like us, really.

African Clawed Frog (Xenopus laevis) - In reading about these guys, I ran across this "there was a brief spate of excitement around this frog when it was determined that urine from a pregnant human female would cause an unmated African Clawed Frog to lay eggs". Can anyone explain just how that was discovered?

Surinam Horned Frog (Ceratophrys cornuta) - They say the eye is the window to the soul. Frogs have issues.

Panther Chameleon (Chamaelo pardalis) - I never realized how cute their hands were.
