Animal of the Day!
Budgett’s Frog (Lepidobatrachus laevis)
Tumblr media
(Photo from National Geographic)
Conservation Status- Least Concern
Habitat- Southern South America
Size (Weight/Length)- 13 cm
Diet- Insects; Amphibians; Snails
Cool Facts- Nicknamed the hippo frog for obvious reasons, the Budgett’s frog is always smiling. Despite living in South America, their homes can get as cold as -13 degrees Celsius in the winter. During this time, the Budgett’s frog sheds off an extra layer of skin that prevents them from losing water in the extreme cold. These frogs are relatively aggressive and are not afraid to use their pseudo-fangs to deliver a strong bite to anyone foolish enough to wake them up. Their main threat is habitat loss, however their massive population is adapting to park ponds.
Rating- 11/10 (1/3 of their body is their head.)

#1 & #2: Wood Frog and Pickerel Frog
First up...
Wood Frog!!
(Lithobates sylvaticus)
Tumblr media
No better frog to start with than New York State's official State Amphibian!
Size: 1.5in - 3.25 in
Appearance: Wears a black "mask-like" marking around it's eyes. Can be a range of colors, including brown, red, green, and gray.
Habitat: They live in the woods! They can be found in close-canopied forests throughout the northern United States and Canada.
Status: Least Concerned
Fun Fact: During the winter, these frogs freeze! Their breathing and heart beat stop, and the spaces inbetween their cells freezes until spring, when they dethaw and continue their hippity-hoppity life.
Pickerel Frog!
(Rana [Lithobates] palustris)
Tumblr media
Size: 2in - 4in
Appearance: This green-brown buddy has dark square spots that run down it's back and brightly colored splotches underneath it's hind legs (so as not to be confused with the upcoming Leopard Frog).
Habitat: Pickerel Frogs prefer to live in slow-moving bodies of water like ponds and swamps, with lots of low vegetation. They can be found throughout the eastern United States and Canada.
Status: Least Concern
Fun Fact: These frogs are able to secret a toxic substance powerful enough to kill other frogs and irritate humans - so be careful if handling!

It was Chilumi Fairy Tale week on twitter, and here are my pieces for it✨️🐳
Tumblr media
But the walls of that tower could not hide everything☀️
Day 1- Rapunzel au🍳
Tumblr media
Red is the colour of destiny🥀
Day 2- Red Riding Hood & Woodcutter au
Tumblr media
"It's... made of glass?"
Day 3- Cinderella au🥿
Don't stare at the perspective too much it doesn't make any sense
Tumblr media
He recounts stories of his travels to her⚓️
Day 4- Pirate Siren au✍️
Sooo happy with how this one turned out <3
Tumblr media
Salty depths hold secrets⚓️🌊
Day 5- Another Pirate Siren au, because I really wanted to draw their roles reversed; this time it's Pirate Lumine Siren Childe~
Tumblr media
"What's wrong?"🗡
Day 6- Ella Enchanted au! One of my favourite movies growing up~
For anyone that doesn't know the movie: the story is about a girl named Ella who, when she was born, her fairy (godmother-ish) casted a bleesing of obedience on her. Due to it, Ella obeys any order given to her no matter what, and, well, you can imagine how that goes when the wrong people learn of this information.
Tumblr media
The evening star is shinin' bright so make a wish✨️
Day 7- Princess and the frog au🌱
So my initial goal was to just sketch something for every day (since am busy w work and other projects) but it felt like I kept getting carried away each day, my sketches kept getting more detailed and all. So, for the last day, I wanted to lowkey-shitpost it and go for froggies chilumi!✍️
Alright long post but that's all. This was my first time actually making a piece for every day of those types of events & am happy with all of them🖤

Animal of the Day!
Golden Poison Frog (Phyllobates terribilis)
Tumblr media
(Photo by Wilfried Berns)
Conservation Status- Endangered
Habitat- Coastal Columbia
Size (Weight/Length)- 5 cm
Diet- Insects; Amphibians; Carrion
Cool Facts- While the golden poison frog might be small, don’t let that banana color fool you. Being the most poisonous animal known to man, these tiny frogs are feared by even the largest predators. Enduring some of the heaviest rains in the world, the golden poison frog lives in an abundance of rivers and ponds. Despite this, these frogs lay their eggs on the ground. One by one, dad carries each egg to its own pool to prevent the tadpoles from eating each other. Golden poison frogs are threatened by a mixture of habitat loss and the illegal pet trade.
Rating- 11/10 (What’s really at the end of a rainbow.)
