@littlek,
It's a Green Frog, Rana Clamitans. Very common in our area.

I went back to the snail area and caught a frog (on camera). Don't know the species.

littlek, Thanks for the frog.

Rosborne, I take your word for it about the name of the frog. But I've seen greener frogs.

Ferrets, horses, and antelope, oh my! Such beautiful pictures. I'd like to have a ferret but I doubt my cats would make buddy buddy.

@Roberta,
Are you sure this antelope's not on steroids? He looks like the Arnold Schwarzenegger of the antelope world.

The cat in the picture is a wild animal. It doesn't have a name. It's an African wild cat called a rusty spotted cat.

Arella Mae, Is your hair the color of the cat's?
