That sounds dangerously like evolution, Kis. Clearly the frogs as a species are no more than 6,000 years old, and have existed in this form since they were created.
i just had a close encounter of the frog kind. after posting my last (above) pic, i went downstairs to watch CSI and saw movement near the closed mudroom door. there was a small hoppy toad making his way from my couch towards the tv across the rug. picked it up in my cupped hand without squeezing it to remove it outside. it chirrrped at me three times. let it loose in the garden & didn't let the dogs out for an hour to give it some getaway time.
moral is they are out there - watching us. and waiting.
No one will believe, in the first years of the twenty-first century, that this world is being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as immortal as his own is not; that as men busy themselves about their various concerns they are scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacency men goes to and fro over this globe about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over matter. It is possible that the infusoria under the microscope do the same. No one gives a thought to the elder realms as sources of human danger, or thinks of them only to dismiss the idea as impossible or improbable. the war of the frogs is about to commence and there is nothing humanity can do to prepare...
we have not had a floaty frog update recently since the departure of josh. i see they (generic 'they' as a species, not yours in particular, josh) won an igNobel prize. see this Linky - some interesting links on the page as well.
(please note that the linky page will self-destruct in a few days, the BBC is like that)
