Desert Rain Frog
Planet: Earth
Scientific Classification
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Amphibia
Order: Anura
Family: Brevicipitidae
Genus:
Breviceps
Species:
Breviceps macrops
Desert rain frogs are some of the cutest frog species from planet Earth. During the time of human rule, these frogs were well known worldwide despite inhabiting a small coastline on the continent of Africa. Their range has expanded since the extinction of humans, however.
We have a collection of twenty desert rain frogs in a large desert enclosure. They are a popular frog species for their bulbous appearance and adorable yawns.
Blood Frog
Horror Dimension
Scientific Classification
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Amphibia
Order: Anura
Family: Analaisuridae
Genus:
Analais
Species:
Analais sanguis
In our Horror Dimension 1 sector of the zoo we have blood frogs. These menacing monsters are only a few inches in diameter, yet are some of the most dangerous animals we have. Blood frogs inject their tadpoles into the bloodstreams of prey, which grow and eventually kill their host.
We have three blood frogs here at the zoo, which are strictly forbidden to reproduce.
Black-Winged Frog
Planet: Theria
Scientific Classification
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Amphibia
Order: Anura
Family: Anuralisidae
Genus:
Anuralis
Species:
Anuralis roseata
Black-winged frogs are one of the many winged frog species in the Anuralisidae family. These frogs are the third largest frog species we have, at 5 metres tall. Their home planet is Theria, a planet known for its beauty. Black-winged frogs have glorious shimmering pink wings with black tips.
They live in groups in the wild, and for that reason we have a flutter of seven cute little frogs in the Theria Rainforest Sector 3.
Moonfrog
Moon: One (Echos)
Scientific Classification
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Amphibia
Order: Anura
Family: Pipidae
Genus:
Pipa
Species:
Pipa luna
Moonfrogs are the most common animal found on the moon One, the largest moon orbiting the planet Echos. Their incredibly flat bodies and backs store their eggs, while these animals swim and hop through the shimmering celestial pools of the moon.
We have fifty moonfrogs in the zoo, in Echos Moons Sector 1. They are housed in the largest enclosure in this sector, shared with many other species native to One.
Hally Frog
Planet: Alarus
Scientific Classification
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Amphibia
Order: Anura
Family: Halydae
Genus:
Hallus
Species:
Hallus magicae
Somehow not one of the weirdest frog species, hally frogs have developed the ability to teleport. Nobody knows how amphibians evolved to possess this ability, but hally frogs are known to appear out of nowhere in people's houses; quite a nuisance.
It was quite a task to house these frogs - we had to design an enclosure with walls that repelled their teleporting ability and prevented them from leaving the enclosure.
Criss Frog
Planet: Xiskin
Scientific Classification
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Amphibia
Order: Anura
Family: Sextadae
Genus:
Ansax
Species:
Ansax leptis
The six-legged criss frogs can be found on the riverbeds of the swamplands of Xiskin. They are a fast swimmer, typically living in fast-flowing streams and rivers. Their gravelly skin camouflages them from predators.
We keep our criss frogs in large aquariums, where visitors can try and spot them while the murky water flows and the frogs bury themselves in the gravelly bed.
Bavarnian Winter Frog
Planet: Bavarn
Scientific Classification
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Amphibia
Order: Anura
Family: Bavaernidae
Genus:
Bavarnus
Species:
Bavarnus frigis
These fluffy pink amphibians go into hibernation underground during the summer months, where it is coolest. During winters, the frogs grow large furry coats over their backs, and when they flock on trees they completely conceal the bark.
Our bavarnian winter frogs are in a walk-through enclosure. If you dare, you can reach out and touch the frogs as they sit motionless on the trees.
Bavarnian Summer Frog
Planet: Bavarn
Scientific Classification
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Amphibia
Order: Anura
Family: Bavaernidae
Genus:
Bavarnus
Species:
Bavarnus calidis
Bavarnian summer frogs are wrinkly little frogs that bury themselves in the sandy deserts to keep themselves cool. They soak themselves in oases, bloating themselves and slowly consuming the water in their skin to survive.
Our bavarnian summer frogs are not in a walk-through exhibit; most people's contact with the frogs is toxic to them. Instead, our frogs are in a constantly heated vivarium, fit for three frogs.
Resaria Frog
Planet: Piiflake'o'ra
Scientific Classification
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Amphibia
Order: Anura
Family: Ascaphidae
Genus:
Ascapharus
Species:
Ascapharus maieura
Native to the planet Piiflake'o'ra, resaria frogs are a species of tailed frog. With two large fangs, these animals are ferocious predators in the rainforests they live in. They are specially adapted to climbing tall trees with their prehensile tail.
Our resaria frogs are found in the Piiflake'o'ra Rainforest Sector 1. Their enclosure contains several small domes that children can look into the enclosure from, and resaria frogs enjoy sitting atop the domes and staring down at the children.
Excellent work as always, Mochi. My favorites are the Hally Frogs. I always did have a fondness for thinks suddenly appearing like Suitalk's children.
Thank you so much! I am very excited to dive deeper into the hally frog's biology and how exactly they teleport, it will be very interesting :D
