Ode to frog Artwork, facts, images, and other subjects relating to frogs and toads. Not a robot.

Toad drawing in graphite pencil. It is facing to the left. There is bright sunlight as a light source on its back.
Pencil sketch of the toad in the post above. It faces to the left and has small bumps on its body.
An illustration of a toad with an extra leg. The extra limb is in between its hind legs and has two feet attached to it, one on each side. The view is from above. The text underneath says "This peculiar toad was brought into the laboratory by Mr. M. Wyman. The drawing is by Mr. E. Crosswhite. The toad lived for some time and a few things were learned about its extra leg with the two feet. 1. It was capable of feeble movements of the leg and feet. 2. There was no true joint at the junction of the fifth leg with the body. 3. The extra leg was dragged along with no attempt made to use it in any way. 4. The extra leg could be used as a brace when the toad tried to climb from a jar. (Contribution from the Zoological Laboratory of Pomona College.)"
Graphite pencil sketch of a frog from an above photo I did to practice drawing.
Text below the image says "Could your father but see you, my poor child." The image shows a woman holding her baby daughter in front of her. Bats fly above her and frogs stand around her. She saved one of the frogs from being eaten by a raven. In return, the frog and her friends help the woman.
A frog is wearing an outfit with floral print and buttons and talking with a beaver. The beaver is wearing a checker print and using a cane. A chair and a painting are behind them. They painting could be a portrait of a frog.
A text book illustration that shows a frog with hair-like structures on its abdomen and upper legs. The caption says "Fig. 63.—The 'Hairy Frog' Astylosternus robustus receives its name from the thick growth of vascular villosities which develop in the male during the breeding season. These are respiratory organs which compensate for the reduced lungs of this species at the time of the year when the metabolism of frogs increases."
The tag shows Kermit the frog with abs laying with his hands behind his head. He has a towel around his waist. It says “Amphibia POUR HOMME, FEMME. ET FROG EAU DE TOILETTE”
Frog in a top hat and coat sits on a lily pad while holding a wooden cane. The frog has a flower with a long thin stem in its hat.
12 Yellow legged frogs sit in clear plastic containers on a sunny rock next to a lake. They are waiting to be reintroduced into the lake after their population was decimated by introduced stock fish and amphibian fungus. Photo from article taken by the scientist Roland Knapp.
Woodblock print of a small frog playing a banjo instrument. Poem underneath reads “Cuá, cuá, cantaba la rana; Cuá, cuá, debajo del agua... (Cómo me gustan las naguas Que vá luciendo tu hermana).”
