You lot think I'm talking bullshit don't you?
When my son was about 4 years of age he ran into the house from the garden screaming! "Daddy Daddy, there's a monster in the ground under the big tree"
He showed me the spot. I heard distinct growling and saw the soil move. Thinking it might be a mole I stabbed in the soil with a fork behind the movement and lifted.
Out it came, a horror to end all horrors! A dirty great big Pyxiecephalus adspersus. It must have been 10 inches long and 5 inches across.
And was it annoyed. It jumped at me baring it's fangs.
Then it ran off.
These frogs are some of the largest of their species in the world. They live underground during the dry winter months on the Savanna areas of Africa and then come out in the first rains.
Still think I'm writing bullshit?
