Is there any frog species you have a grudge against?
Meet Gephyromantis (Phylacomantis) pseudoasper
Peak calling activity? Between 3 and 4 am 😡
Its preferred perch? The canvas of my tent 🙃
The decibels of its call? Jet-engine levels 🫨
The sound? Fuckin' Star Wars lasers.

Weird question so feel free to ignore, but in your different species AU can gecko!Donnie lose and regrow his tail like real geckos?
I think a lot about the fact that he dropped his tail during the fight with Shredder at the end of the first season
don't worry, the tail will grow back!
...but it's much worse than the first one, which will make Donnie hate it. inactive and inappropriate in color. over time the tone will even out, but it'll take him a long time to get used to it (this idea is still raw, so perhaps there will be an update in the future)
AND THIS
@khlegacynexus yes, he won't lose his arm (unless I change it-)

Animal of the Day!
Budgett’s Frog (Lepidobatrachus laevis)
(Photo from National Geographic)
Conservation Status- Least Concern
Habitat- Southern South America
Size (Weight/Length)- 13 cm
Diet- Insects; Amphibians; Snails
Cool Facts- Nicknamed the hippo frog for obvious reasons, the Budgett’s frog is always smiling. Despite living in South America, their homes can get as cold as -13 degrees Celsius in the winter. During this time, the Budgett’s frog sheds off an extra layer of skin that prevents them from losing water in the extreme cold. These frogs are relatively aggressive and are not afraid to use their pseudo-fangs to deliver a strong bite to anyone foolish enough to wake them up. Their main threat is habitat loss, however their massive population is adapting to park ponds.
Rating- 11/10 (1/3 of their body is their head.)

Found this partially blind gray tree frog the other day, thought it was pretty cool and figured I'd share!
