You know, I’m wondering if the Spotted Snout-burrower (Hemisus guttatus) decided to live its life underground because of those yellow spots. They make it look a bit iffy, you know, like it has some sort of weird disease. Kind of like a froggy chicken pox!
Maybe it was banished to live underground so as not to infect other creatures above. Like when those with the Bubonic Plague were quarantined. I mean, it’s gotten used to living in the dirt at least; it has those big, muscular thighs and no webbing between the fingers and toes so it can easily move around soil.
Maybe the disease turns you into a ZOMBIE? A yellow, spotty, frog zombie.
Yes… perhaps…
