Madagascar's MINI Frogs

[jaimeogas]

I would've thought the frog names were an April Fools Day joke, except that the video was released on April 10.

Mini Ature, Mini Scule and Mini Mum is brillliant

[laidbacklifestyle]

Mini ature 😂😂😂 these taxonomists need a raise lmao

[Etherbeats]

Whoever named these species deserves an award

[WizardToby]

Those latin species names are amazing
Mini ature, Mini scule, and Mini mum XD

[Spitty]

The scientific names sound like Pokemon names lol

A really cool example of islands that aren't islands are the tree islands or "hammocks" that dot the Florida everglades. They are basically isolated forests surrounded by grass and in each hammock there is a unique subspecies of the liguus snail. These snails are easily able to colonize each tree island as they are hermaphroditic so only one needs to make it to a hammock. Over time as they have spread at least 50 subspecies of these snails have evolved each having their own unique color and pattern. I highly recommend looking up pictures cause they are some really funky looking snails that most people don't know about.

Thanks God all normal animals were named by XIX century people.

Madagascar is home to the one of the smallest living frog member, and was home to the largest of them. Beelzebuffo

[seansingh]

Bro those frogs are giving us the middle finger in one frame

[juankovacs]

Wonder how gonna name the eventually smaller frog 😂

[DreadEnder]

The naming conventions here are all round brilliant

[specturv]

All it took was one person coming up with the name mini ature, and for the rest to follow the assignment

[NishaSingh-mlwq]

after getting inspiration from your extinct butterfly video i did some research and it looks like these two species are not extinct. For more info you can check the GBIF background on which ITIS is based. Nearly 2 occurrences were detected for C.s. sthenele and 17 for C.s. behrii

[DreadEnder]

Having the short species name be B. nana is brilliant!

[a_moleperson]

I love your videos, this has to be my exact niche.

[nathancreek]

First B. nana, now Mini ature, Mini scule and Mini mum... I think the taxonomists of Madagascar are getting bored

[d.esanchez]

Bro i want to be a taxonomist just to name random shit like this XD

[theheavenlywaffle]

These scientific names sure are getting creative
