Cool photo of the frog Chilli-I hear the big Bull Frogs crocking down at the waters edge.
Many toads will burrow underground, and have unearthed them while digging excavating a hole. (gravel)
Take a shovel full out look in the hole to get another, and there's a toad looking back at me.
Yeah these are pretty good survivalists. They can live in the minimal wet dirt. Then when it rains come out and do the "Bonk" thing.
We have many creatures that do that. Even my favourite fish to catch the Yellowbelly. They as well as Murray Cod (i don't fish for them as the size limit is stupid, i fish for what I like to catch n eat)
Our native fish as I said are survivalists. In drought, often here, they lay doggo, shut down, and build up fat supplies. So say a yelllowbelly. You catch a 10lb fish. In the dry months, you get a fish with 50/50 flakes in the meat. 50% meat, 50% fat. Sounds odd right. Thats how they survive our climate. Wet times, floods, its around 80% meat, 20% fat sections. The best time is obviously wetter times, flood times. In dry times they wait, and are harder to get. In wet times they move and spawn and are easy to catch.
They wait till these times. They spawn on flood waters. So, the crazy catch times are at dam wall areas where they cant travel further upstream, even though they want to. Or, if they can in areas previously dry but covered in flood waters. They are a beautiful eating fish in that time. And fight like crazy. My best was a 12lb. But they get up to 20.
Best eating are around 4 to 8.
Bigger the fat sections out way the flesh.
Love fishing for them. A month or so they will hopefully be on the bite. But one doesn't know till they are really, an odd fish to target at times, time has to be right. But when on the bite are great. 👍👍👍👍👍
