Veterinarian Dr. Lauren Howard of the Houston Zoo was tasked with removing a cancerous lump from the left foot of an endangered Houston toad [Anaxyrus houstonensis]. In this video she demonstrates how anesthetics are applied to toads in their facility, while also preforming a minor toe amputation and detailing the recovery process of her tiny patient. This is a very informative little video, and not as graphic as it sounds. Definitely worth a watch.

These sweet little blorps are Scaphiophyrne gottlebei, also known as Malagasy rainbow burrowing frogs or Gottlebe’s narrow-mouthed frogs. These beautiful but rarely seen frogs are among the rarest in the world, and highly sought after in the pet trade despite the lack of captive breeding efforts. They are endemic to the central portion of southern Madagascar. Photos by MantellaMan on Flickr

Tiny had exciting plans this afternoon! At 3pm he sat on the ledge and took all his clothes off!

Xylocopa caerulea (“Blue Carpenter bee”). Beautiful.
