Urban frogs wear suits?

Date : 22nd February 2008
Time : 8.30pm to 10.30pm
Weather : Fairly wet
Still full moon , O

Caught 5 Bufo melanostictus today. The first was a normal looking one, slightly smaller than regular size while the 2nd one was one great-grand mother toad (like elaine puts it). It was humongous. I tried to provoked it, just to see whether it secretes the yellowish substance from its glands like the PGP R1 toad (the biggie one). It didn't. Just a slight colourless substance.

Then, i caught the remaining three form the same area. I was walking along the path, from MPSH towards the tennis courts. I was expecting to see one or two, but did not spot any. However, in between the stadium and tennis courts, i spotted 3 juvenile Asian toads. The first one was so frail i had to ask it to get a life. The second one was small as well but it was hopping all over, as if it was jumping for joy, seeing me with the camera. And the third one was almost like the second one. Got a nice pic of the 2 active ones.
