Incorrigible1 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 ....in place there was a depression in the road that held rainwater. Couldn't vehicular traffic have flattened the peepers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Patty3 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Frogs are so gross and slimy I don't know how anyone could eat them without being raised up to do it. I could never get the image out of my head, but they would be a good source of protien for a bigfoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jodie Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Not all frogs are slimy, you must be one of those internet biologists. We have a lot of internet specialists on here in genetics, anthropology, archaeology, just name it, we have it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get oxygen throuh their skin when it's moist. They get slimy at times because they secrete mucus that helps keep it moist. Maybe you're thinking about toads they have tougher skin and can live farther from water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branco Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Couldn't vehicular traffic have flattened the peepers? No Sir. As the post stated," I was walking an old gated road in the Ouachita NF." There is no vehicle traffic on the road except once a year in late summer when food plots further up the mountain are fertilized and re-seeded. The general area is KNOWN to have a resident population of at least two small family groups of the reddish-brown colored BF. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Biggie Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Homeless people shamelessly eat garbage and roadkill. A lot of people eat road kills. I just watched an episode of Hairy Bikers where they found fresh road kills(snake, squirrel, and rabbit) and cooked them up into delicious looking meals. I liked the shirt that one host had on that said "Street Pizza" too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) No, it's basic biology at a grade school level. Well toads are frogs so it seems that not all frogs are slimy. Maybe that is high school level biology. A distinction between frogs and toads, though common in popular culture, is not made in taxonomy, where toads are spread across families Bufonidae, Bombinatoridae, Discoglossidae, Pelobatidae, Rhinophrynidae, Scaphiopodidae, and Microhylidae.

Bonehead74 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) Interesting discussion. I'll only add that catching a frog by hand is not easy. They are very watchful for anything that might approach them, and will jump into the water at the slightest provocation. If you do get close enough to make a grab, they are very slippery and difficult to hold on to. Humans who harvest frogs for food use nets, gigs, or rifles to make the catch. The time/effort versus reward ratio seems high for a bigfoot, unless they have a technique we're unaware of. Toads, on the other hand, are easy pickins', but are probably only a snack of opportunity.

Guest Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 On a local level, it's really disturbing to observe the almost complete disappearance of frogs from our local habitat. As a kid in the mid-eighties when the surrounding fields were irrigated, within a couple of weeks, literally thousands upon thousands of tadpoles, then frogs would emerge. The same is done now, and not a one. Something is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
