Your Wild Side

California red-legged frog               Edgar Ortega
An amusing little quiz (eight questions long) from the National Wildlife Federation purporting to uncover the species closest to your heart ~ your patronus, if you will. It's educational, too. Apparently, I'm a California red-legged frog, which I found out is the largest native frog in the Western U.S. Unfortunately, it's also number four on the list of America's most threatened frogs, a distinction that started with the California gold miners, who ate them almost to oblivion, and continues today, thanks to the invasive American bullfrog and habitat destruction: http://blog.nwf.org/2016/03/quiz-whats-your-wildlife-personality/?s_email_id=20160308_MEM_BGV_MembershipMonth_WildlifePersonality_MEM|STBot
