Little Wide Eyes

I went back up to Josh's pond yesterday and decided to scoop up some small pond plants while there. I figured they'd be good for the tadpoles. As I started looking at the water I was surprised and delighted to find this and bout 8 others like him. He is very tiny, only about 1/3 of and inch tip to tail. Compared to the other tadpoles he is very small. His underside is very transparent and I can see his heart beating through his skin! As you can tell, his eyes are very wide spaced, actually on the sides of his head! He has a smaller mouth also. One of the cutest thing about him is his fat, stubby square body. I've got to do more research and find out exactly what kind of frogs we have.Posted by Picasa
