hello tumblr I’m a frog scientist and I heard you like frogs here so I’m here to share frog content if that’s okay
my first contribution is to inform you all that Carl Linnaeus hated frogs. Like, really hated them:
"These foul and loathsome animals are abhorrent because of their cold body, pale color, cartilaginous skeleton, filthy skin, fierce aspect, calculating eye, offensive smell, harsh voice, squalid habitation, and terrible venom; and so their Creator has not exerted his powers to make more of them." - Carl Linnaeus, Systema Naturae 1758 (Translated from Latin)
idk what went down between Linnaeus and a frog but dude was traumatised
also here is a photo of one of my science frogs, his name is Granny
i have no idea if anyone who follows me is still active but, just in case, i grew up to be a frog scientist and i made a blog for frog content
