Tigrosa feeding on a tree frog
It is not 100% confirmed that this is the Ranavirus, but after doing some research online and witnessing the symptoms of these individuals, I honestly think that is what im looking at here unfortunately.
Has anyone else seen a northern two-lined with this type of patterning?
polyploidy (A. laterale and jeffersonianum complex)
Amazingly, this Toad was out walking (albeit very, very slowly) on the snow.
Very large toad, missing both front legs. Seemed to still be able to move pretty well
This slender, ant-mimic jumping spider species exhibits Batesian mimicry, where its ant-like appearance keeps them safe from predators of arthropods that would avoid ants and the formic acids they use as deterrents.
Wild adult found at the end of a day of headstarting young Hellbenders with Kenneth Roblee, by far the largest of several individuals we encountered that evening. Measured (21 inches and 700 grams) and tagged before it was set free
Incredibly bright blue morph.
