In the holiday I went to say at granny and Vic's house. One sunny morning I biked to see if the sea was flat. It was like glass - perfect for fishing. So I raced back to the house and yelled and said "Let's go."

We drive to the loading platform and we  put the boat in the water and zoomed to the north of Kapiti to catch some fish. Kapiti was sunny and the trees had beautiful flowers. we are here yell Vic so we down went the line I was Eager to catch a fish. Suddenly there was a big bend on my line. so I Wondered my line in and I Could see the fish it was a turkey. and it was a Beauty and we could eat it and we cet on fishing. and then Vic Courts a  Cherokee. and then we went to a Different fishing spot. and we Soissons turkey jumping out of the water So Vic out Lua and try to get some But he did not get any.So granny used it to get some other fish Granny caught something but it was not a turkey it was a Barracuda. and cut it up for bat and then and I had a fish on my mind line and I Did not know what it was a big  beans I thought I caught the bottom until at least I thought I had lost the fish but The fish was not gone still fighting for its life. I got into the boat and we did not know what  fish it's was So we trove over to the guys decided and it was a John Dory Nvm we drove all the way back to shore and loaded up the boat and went back to the house and put the fish up making chips  eat some Lion fish And they were delicious the next day we picked up my sister lunch we had someone John Dory fish  tasty to  Nick's day Mum and Dad came and dropped off Max the next night he slept well mexted breakfast I had some more of my fish so much of it John Dory 1  good fish to eat I hope the turkey was good

Then we got there and we unpack our bag  and mum and dad left to go to Robbie Williams and we went to to have dinner and we had Tacos and they there good and then we went and play with Max and then we went trik and tret and we got back and went to bed 

\The smallest frogs are the Paedophryne dekotand Paedophryne verrucosa from Papua New Guinea, sizing in at only only 9 mm in length. Next up is the critically endangered Cuban frog Eleutherodactylus iberia. These frogs measure only 10 mm (0.4 in) when fully grown. They are threatened by pesticides, and by large-scale mining operations that destroy their habitat (Photo of E. iberia by M. Lammertink). do you not this 

The strawberry poison dart frog Dendrobates pumilio has an extraordinary reproductive strategy. Females lay their eggs in the leaf-litter or on plants. When the tadpoles hatch, they climb onto the mother's back. She then transports them to small pockets of water in bromeliads or other vegetation, often high in the trees. She returns intermittently through their development to lay unfertilized eggs in the water. These eggs serve as the tadpoles' primary food source. Dendrobates pumiliooccurs throughout the Caribbean coast of Central America. Other poison-dart frog species carry their tadpoles around as well. Note the tadpoles in the photo to the right. (Top photo of D. pumilio taken at Red Frog Beach, Bocas del Toro, Panama. Bottom photo is the Gulfo Dulce Poison Dart FrogPhyllobates vittatus on Costa Rica's Osa Peninsula) 

Thought only birds built nests?

The Australian stony creek frogs Litoria wilcoxii and Litoria jungguy occasionally build a sand nest for their eggs. In the photo at right, eggs are in the center of the nest, which is immediately beside a stream. Thus the eggs are kept in a moist environment, safe from fish for the time being. The next large rain will wash them into the stream and they will emerge as tadpoles.

What's up with the 6-legged frogs?

Frog deformities have caused alarm since the early 1990's, when high numbers of frogs in the Midwest were found with missing limbs, extra limbs or other developmental abnormalities. Many of these deformations are caused by a trematode parasite Ribeiroia ondatrae that burrows into tadpoles' hind limbs. Why did the malformation rate increase so dramatically in the last two decades? This is unknown, but it may be due to increased levels of eutrophication (an un-natural state caused by excessive amounts of fertilizer entering a water body), which allowed snails that are used by the trematode as an intermediary host to increase in numbers, thus providing optimal breeding conditions for the trematode. Furthermore,pesticides have been shown to weaken frogs' immune systems and make them more vulnerable to trematode infections. The photo on the right is a 6-legged Spotted Grass Frog Limnodynastes tasmaniensis. Kind of cool, but in a not-so-cool kind of way. (Photo credits unknown).
