More spring sightings: Have had Wood Frogs (Rana sylvatica) and Spring Peepers (Hyla crucifer) calling in the last few days from wet areas in the surrounding #forest.
But the Wikipedia tells me that Spring Peepers are now Pseudacris crucifer and Wood Frogs are Lithobates sylvaticus. I cannot keep up with all of this scientific name changing. I shall now just call them all "frogs."
I think it's very cool that a little gang of green anole #lizards has taken up residence by my front steps. (Despite the name, they turn brown when it's cool outside). #herpetology
I bet one of you will please be able to tell me, what is this part of a reptile's anatomy called? And what is it, a flap of skin, a blood vessel, something else?
