Spring Peeper

This is a spring peeper. I found him in my pond last spring. If you listen carefully on an early spring night, you will hear the males go peep-peep-peep! Peepers lay many eggs in ponds. I am playing and observing  him. Is it a he or she? I don't know. Peepers are cool!

Crayfish

Did you know that crayfish, mudbugs and crawdads are all the same thing? I named this crayfish Pinchie because he pinched my Dad on the finger! You do not want to get pinched by one of these big guys. I found him in the Vermilion River. He is an omnivore. He eats fish, insects, and plants. He is kind of cute . . don't you agree? I love him.

Reptile Show - Green Iguana

I went to the Reptile Show with my Dad. Iguanas, frogs, snakes and turtles were at the show. An albino boa slithered up my back and put his head on my shoulder. That was a surprise! This is a picture of a Green Iguana. Look at his bright color!

Cat Family Rescue

This summer we rescued a Mommy cat and her kittens. Their names are Mommy Cat, Pretty Boy Floyd, Ernest T. Bass, Hayu, Trixie and Little Rocky. At ten weeks they got new homes. Mommy Cat, Pretty Boy Floyd and Ernest T. Bass belong to us. Hayu lives with Mrs. Z. Trixie lives with Cyndi the haircutter. Little Rocky went to heaven.

Jumping Frog

Jump frog jump. This is a green frog. He is spending the day in my observation tank.  Green frogs like to eat worms, flies, crickets, rodents, birds, fish and snakes.
