Lucky's Pond: King of the Island

Lucky's Pond: King of the Island
(If you want to know about Lucky, please visit this picture and read the story! :) My Friend Lucky

It's hard for me to resist taking pictures at Lucky's Pond all day long because these little guys are hopelessly adorable no matter what they're doing, but I'm afraid I'd fill my entire hard drive up with images! As it is, I've got lots and lots to share! Here's Lucky playing "King of the Island," and I'm sure that right before I got here he was shoving everyone off so he could retain his title! :D (By the way, everyone at Lucky's Pond is named Lucky! :D)

When tadpoles go through the final change into a frog, they stop eating while their mouths, jaws and face changes shape. While this is happening, they also begin to reabsorb their tail, and this is thought to give them energy while they aren't eating! That's really cool, and it's so cute to see their tails shrinking!! :D
