Blonde By Nature

Everything in the natural world is connected and the indicator of our successes and failures is apparent in the fragile balance of ecosystems. Ultimately, an ecosystem is “a community of living and non-living things that work together in harmony and balance” and if it becomes corrupt, frogs are the first to effectively communicate the ailments of the system to us.

The brainiest biological minds say that the frog is one of the most important species within that system and as a result they act as a pulse-check, a reminder and indicator of how we are doing and are now a symbol for our declining eco-system and failing environment.  As is typical in our culture, they are also becoming a branding tool for eco-companies with an environmental-friendly goal e.g. Frog File, Big Frog Mountain, Frog Pond Hemp.

People, our frogs are in trouble and toad licking has nothing to do with it. According to Amphibian Ark, frogs face the largest mass extinction since the dinosaurs - roughly 500 species are in trouble - and we have the power to determine their fate.

How can you help?

Glad you asked. After today you will have TWO WHOLE DAYS (expires May 31st) to bid for the rights to name the Osornophryne Genus frog from Ecuador being auctioned off by Amphibian Ark in association with Jeff Corwin. Just imagine, written in scientific journals all over the world and carved into history will be “YourNameHere Frog.” HOW COOL IS THAT? If I were Google, I would jump on that opportunity, pay 20K (chump change to them) and name this frog “Google’s Frog.”

CLICK HERE TO PLACE A BID.  (As of this moment, it is currently at $5,500.00)

I would personally hate to see one of the more fascinating creatures on this earth disappear…I mean, what other animal carries a nursery on their back for hundreds of young, or is completely clear exposing it’s organs?

I’ll let you know the winner once it is announced.

Spread the word!
