What a pleasant face! This Gulf coast toad [Incilius nebulifer] was observed feeding in Williamson County, Texas, by photographer Jack Cochran.

Best species of toad? (In your opinion)

There are so so so many good toads in the world but I have been known to enjoy a Gulf Coast Toad

Really doughy animals

...May I ask about your fursona ideas for the different beavis and butthead characters? 👀

HEHEH THANKS FOR AWAKENING MY MENTAL ILLNESS, ANON. I could talk about fursona headcanons (of anything) for HOURS.

I'll go through as many characters that I have ideas for. I definitely might miss some, but if you have a particular side-character I missed don't be afraid to ask. Again, I love thinking about this stuff : )

Beavis and Butt-Head: African wolf (Senegalese subspecies) and Spotted hyena, respectively. Hyena was too good an opportunity to pass up, but I felt Beavis needed to be a different animal. Hyenas are kind of "box-shaped" which lends itself well to how Butt-Head is designed, but Beavis is a lot more angular and "pointy" to me. I was considering a coyote, but it felt too basic. African wolf felt like a good median.

Also....consider...the size difference. Very silly. Buzzcut: American Staffordshire Terrier

It just felt right. Cassandra: Okapi

Just felt right (that might be my reasoning for a lot of these if they don't have extra commentary lol) Daria: Water opossum or Yapok

Earl: Sumatran Rhino

Principal McVicker: Gulf coast toad

I did this based off of vibes/character design initially but, now that I am writing this, I am realizing there is a connection here between frog baseball and the mental abuse Beavis and Butt-Head put on that guy on a daily basis lmaooo. Stewart: Syrian hamster

It is literally him. 'Nuff said. Todd: Red fox

Basic "cool animal". Also I like the name pun (for those not in-the-know, Tod is a term for a male fox).

Tom Anderson: Texas pocket gopher

Van Driessen: Water deer

Gentle beast. Very befitting for him <3. I could also have him be a regular type of deer but I like the visual of their tusks. Hoping to make more art of these interpretations, so keep an eye out : )

#sorry for the wait anon I was busy with school stuff when I got it and it ended up lying in my drafts a bit #if there is one thing I am good at is overthinking fursona applications to real-life and fictional ppl #also these are all just my own personal interpretations #please feel free to make your own or assign them other animals in your own headcanons #I do not own the concept of giving beavis and butthead fursonas any ideas are true and valid as the next and I love seeing them #asks #animalified

Shrub Mints, Sky, and Water

Believe it or not, this is a mint.

Specifically, this is a Conradina, likely Conradina canescens. They love pine-oak scrub ecosystems, or anywhere on top of old sand dunes. This description fits most of the Gulf Coast. You might think it'd be great for xeriscaping or landscaping in general, but - not if you like grass. It releases terpenes that actively kill off grass, to keep the sandy soil the way it likes the place. 

I find the little flowers very, very pretty, though - if desperately hard to photograph. Nuts. 

Now this I thought was interesting. Most of the pond just looks varying shades of blue to green. But right here by a dock pathway out into the water, the walkway slows the water near it down enough that you can see more of the sky's actual reflection, including bits of clouds. 

And here I turned the camera up to look at said clouds.

See how the pine needles shine? They do that the same reason magnolia leaves do - they try to reflect away some of the noon sunlight because it's more than their photosynthesis can take. 

Some critters don't mind the sun, though.

Wasp, happily minding her own business. (Odds are it's a her, at least.) 

An oak toad, confident it's blending in. (Sorry, nope.) 

And an anole looking at the Weird Hooman walking by.

World's crazy these days. Sometimes you've got to focus on the small stuff.

My Spring Buddies

Texas spiny lizard (Sceloporus olivaceus) Big fat toad. I think this is a Gulf Coast Toad(Bufo nebulifer) but I wouldn’t swear to it. I’m definitely not a herpetologist. I have tons of earthworms in my raised beds. I used to pick them up off the concrete when it rained. I’d get a big bucket of earth worms and toss them around my beds. You know you have a healthy garden when you have all of…

Quite the striking pattern on this Gulf coast toad [Incilius nebulifer] found in Selma, Texas. While tadpoles and toadlets of this species are a uniform grey-brown, adults display high contrast markings that make them immediately identifiable from other species. Images by Stephanie Mills.
