Feb 17th: The Secret Life of Frogs

Big lab exam tomorrow. It's on something that some may find pretty ridiculous: frogs, toads, and salamanders. I'm serious. Sooo I have to cram. Lot's of Latin. Ugh.... I'm gonna be up for a while.



Random side note: Did you know that poison dart frogs are only poisonous because of the toxic bugs they eat? So if you feed them nontoxic bugs, they will no longer have significant chemical levels as they can't synthesize their own toxins. The more you know. (NBC jingle)

Latin and Science. I feel bad for you!

Wow that's really a cool fact about poison dart frogs I never knew I love learning random fact about things. What major are you that requires you learn in depth about such creatures? Unless it's just a course everyone has to take, the i feel sorry for you.

I'm a wildlife ecology major, so if it has to do with biology or anatomy, I have to learn it! That course in particular is vertebrate biology, so in lab we're covering salamanders, frogs, toads, snakes, turtles, birds and mammals in depth.

My mammalogy lab is way cooler; I get to play around with things like polar bear and giraffe skulls.

I also promise that that's not as creepy as it sounded. >_<
