Amphibian Rescue 911


This may look like nothing more than an empty tupperware, but minutes earlier it was a froggy rescue apparatus!
It all started when Guppy was doing his usual sniffing of dark objects on the ground, when all of a sudden he nearly jumped out of his skin. I hurried over to see what he had found. There, very still, in front of a parked car, was the biggest frog I had ever been that close to.
Like any froggy rescue team would do, we jumped to action and we quickly came up with the tupperware rescue apparatus idea. The capture was suprisingly easy and no traquillizers were necessary- not even for me (I am not a major fan of amphibians)! Guppy's enthusiasm for the small creature in the tupperware was highly entertaining. We quickly rushed over to the edge of the lake and let our amphibian friend go.
Now, Guppy wears his water creature name with pride, as he is now the Commander of Amphibian Search and Rescue of Villa Marina- and yes, he does hold his head a little higher. :)
