The English language idiom "it is raining cats and dogs", referring to a heavy downpour, is of uncertain etymology but probably unrelated to the raining animals phenomenon.

The frog spawn contains thousands of ova that are encapsulated in a sack full of liquid (Protein and water=egg white?). This helps the eggs to survive drought. I am sure the tadpole have a way to survive the dry weather just beneath the surface of the soil where moisture is always found. Frogs aint shtupid you nooo. :roll:


You can never find a biologist when you need one, typical!

You can never find any ologist never mind bi's.
