Duck frogs

I have these frogs around my house that start quacking every time it rains and they sound just like ducks. One time when my little brother heard one it sounded so much like a duck he started yelling there's a duck in our bushes. But I think the funniest thing about these frogs is there name the squirrel tree frog it should be the duck frog.

Lately I have been doing research on small wild cat in particular the Scottish wild cat the Margay cat and some on the African wild cat /domestic cat. Here are some of the things I learned about them. The African wild cat is small with farley small ears and long bushy ringed tail. It is about the same size as a domestic cat which was supposedly bred from the African wild cat they classified as the same species. The Scottish wild cat looks similar to a tabby cat in many ways but it is larger and were a tabby is splotched it is striped also the Scottish wild cat has a blunt tail were a Tabby's is pointed. This wild cat is very fierce and almost impossible to tame even from a tiny kitten. This cat was once found over most of the British isle's but is now found mainly in the highlands of Scotland. The Margay cat looks like an ocelot but is a good bit smaller. The Margay cat also looks like an oncilla but is bigger. The most interesting fact about the Margay is its great agility and its ability to jump from tree to tree like a monkey swing from a single hind paw and run head first down a tree like a marten I think that is pretty cool.

The Exploreum.

Today we went to the Exploreum and saw the new exhibit called frogs it was awesome. They had all sorts of frogs they had tree frogs dart frogs Bullfrogs and a lot of others that I don't know the names of and if you have not gone to see it yet you should go ASAP.

My dogs.

I have two dogs the oldest one is a German Shepperd lab and possibly Irish setter mix. That I got in 2006 and is now one and a half years old. When I got him he was eight weeks old and was a big puppy now he is about as big as a pit bull his name is Buck. The other one is a mix of so many breeds can't even tell you them all but for all that she is a nice dog. Her name is Mia and she is my sisters dog not mine and she is still only a few months old.

My blog Joshua's jungle is inhabited by the jaguar! The jaguar is the
third largest cat second only to the lion#2 and the Tiger#1. The jaguar
looks similar
to a leopard with it's orange and black spotted fur. But there are
two ways to tell them apart. The first one is that the jaguars spots
are small rosettes with a dot in the middle and the leopard has only
rosettes with no dot in the middle. The second is that a jaguar is
bigger more heavily built stockier limbs broad head and strong jaws. All
the jaguars I have ever seen [and I have seen some] were pretty bad
tempered. Once we where at the zoo and my sister Megan stuck her face
up against the glass at the jaguars cage and guess what it did it tried
to slap her face with a six or eight inch razor clawed
paw if it had not for the glass she would have had her face cut to the
bone
in four or five places. But that was in a zoo there probably different
in the wild fore the most part I think jaguars are pretty cool.
