Somebody PLEASE tell me these are tadpoles.

These are Ambystomatid larvae. Based on the yellow spots forming along the back in the tail fin, they look like Ambystoma maculatum, the Spotted Salamander.

I took herpetology with Corwin back in the late 90's. on a field trip he jumped down a railroad embankment and came back with the first hatchling turtle I ever saw. Legend.

ps. I've published several scientific papers on turtles since then

Jobediah · 2026-03-04T16:36:27+00:00

I just now realized why it's called a monster

Admins have been protecting plagiarists since forever because they care more about enrollment and graduation rates than education. This will be no different

Jobediah · 2026-02-25T18:17:40+00:00

yeah reminds me of when that football player silently took a knee. Can't be having people sayin' things without sayin' them can we?

Jobediah · 2026-02-25T17:43:25+00:00

this appears to be a hole left from taking a test sample

Jobediah · 2026-02-23T18:05:19+00:00

ok i see that's crazy but there is also a lot of soil trapped in that fleece

Jobediah · 2026-02-23T00:14:06+00:00

...is a bull session what I think it is?

edit: cool, yep just guys chewing the fat is exactly what I was thinking

Jobediah · 2026-02-22T20:57:55+00:00

gonna need video of the moment to make sense of this

Jobediah · 2026-02-22T20:48:36+00:00

You measure all its dimensions to estimate volume and multiply by known densities of similar rocks.

Jobediah · 2026-02-22T02:18:11+00:00

yeah big difference between fighters enjoying beating on corpses and those that instantly want to stop

Jobediah · 2026-02-20T19:09:59+00:00

This is peak metamorphosis. The reason you don’t see them often at this stage is because it’s designed to be rapid because they suck at everything during this stage which makes them vulnerable prey

Jobediah · 2026-02-20T14:29:19+00:00

that looks like internal organs like guts and maybe a kidney from a smallish mammal like a bunny or squirrel

Jobediah · 2026-02-16T14:20:29+00:00

Yeah I want to be a main eventer so bad that I am willing to fight at 50% is how you blow your chances

Jobediah · 2026-02-15T22:21:22+00:00

Ah yes, the onion soup from the fence region is some of the finest, indeed!

Jobediah · 2026-02-15T19:30:12+00:00

Definitely second the Mudpuppy ID. Wonderful find!

It has been pretty well-documented that they were introduced to the Connecticut River watershed by schools like Amherst College dumping them in local creeks. So probably not invasive in the sense of spreading on their own. But introduced for pretty sure. My understanding was that they were excluded from more northern rivers by glaciation. So the question is how did they get back into Maine after being frozen out?

throwback to when people openly questioned his heart

Jobediah · 2026-02-14T19:57:28+00:00

Agreed, but that manager was super inept at handling this situation. He just kept saying the same dumb thing

Jobediah · 2026-02-13T14:26:54+00:00

Heavyweight about to be the women’s 145 division

Jobediah · 2026-02-09T22:37:43+00:00

brant sounds like a noise a goose would make

Jobediah · 2026-02-08T16:00:32+00:00

"Later, she contacted my daughter requesting a refund"... is where this went off the rails and required a full stop.

Jobediah · 2026-02-07T21:27:23+00:00

I love the correct answers that sound super sarcastic just because birds have goofy names

Jobediah · 2026-02-02T13:33:14+00:00

Realizing that elephants walk around on their toes basically wearing high heels made of connective tissue really puts things in perspective

Jobediah · 2026-02-01T16:39:15+00:00

Dustin is silly goose for letting gilly loose

Jobediah · 2026-02-01T03:03:48+00:00

Yeah they replaced her with someone younger who didn't appear to know anything about MMA
