frogs

We give cats and dogs all the love in the world, but today our little amphibian friends deserve to be showered in attention for being so darn cute. The Frogs and Toads subredditis always full of incredible pictures of frogs and toads alike, and we decided to celebrate our froggy buddies by gathering the best of this week's amphibian cuties. Scroll down for the best of the green and brown kings from this week. 

Just a bunch of frogs in hats, nothing more and nothing less. 

Yes, it's no secret that we here at I Can Has Cheezburger have a strange and deep love for seeing animals dressed up in tiny hats. It's odd but adorable and we're totally here for it. We've seen rabbits in hats, cats in hats, and just about every other animal donning hats as well. What more could there possibly be? A lot more, actually. 

And right now... frogs. 

It's been a while since we've seen such an abundance of froggo memes circulating the web but here we are with some of the strangest (and some oddly wholesome) frog memes. 

Did you know that frogs have roamed the Earth for as long as the dinosaurs have? Yet no one seems to ever talk about it -- frogs are essentially dinosaurs! The earliest known frog appeared 190 million years ago -- during the late Jurassic period. That's pretty wild if you stop to think about it. 

Frogs can be quite mysterious creatures, some can change colors, some are poisonous, and unlike humans, their tongue isn't actually attached to the back of their mouth, it's attached to the front of their mouth instead. All around, frogs are weird yet strangely fascinating and we think frog memes provide that strangeness with a bit of wonder. We don't know about you but sometimes frogs can be heckin' cute. 

Tiny animals always give us the biggest butterflies in our bellies. There's just something about any animal being unbelievably small that gets to us, and we can't help but love them. So, when we found a picture of the most insanely tiny little frog sitting on someone's finger, we had to go and find more. To our delight and surprise, we found a bunch of them.

They are ridiculously small and seem to constantly make people smile. We hope they bring a smile to your face too and help you continue hopping through this week. And if frogs are not your thing (although tiny frogs should be), we have some illegally tiny kittens to offer.

It's kind of weird when you leave a meme list learning something new. For example, we had no idea an army of frogs is in fact called an "army".

Amphibians are interesting creatures, they can be found almost anywhere in the world! Except Antarctica due to it being insanely freezing. Good call on that one, froggos of the world. These interesting gloobs of green goo deserve a spotlight every now and then. 

And we're here to give it to them! Please, everyone, give our green friends some of your attention. It would mean a lot to them. 

Reddit user, chirpchirping, posted a weird question a few days ago, looking for dating advice: "My (21F) boyfriend (22M) wants me to choose between him and my life passion (frogs)." People had a quite clear opinion regarding it.  

These comics are way too heckin' cute! 

Meet the artist behind these adorable dragon comics you might have been seeing around the web -- Trout! Trout makes comics about dragon and other adorable critters.!

Follow Trout on Tumblr or Instagram to stay up to date on Swordfish's adventures and check out other really awesome dragons!

Why the long face, little froggie? 

Meet the rain frog. He is not really judging you- this is just how it always looks. These little grumps are currently threatened by habitat loss. Perhaps that's why they're so frowny-faced.

Scroll down for some grump.   

Mochi, the 'Kitty Frog' is about to become your new favorite account! Mochi and her brother Choco were adopted at 8-weeks-old when they found abandoned by their mama in a parking lot. Both cats, named after delicious Asian treats, are 3-years-old and currently residing in Portland, Oregan. 

We got an inclusive inside peek at the story behind 'Mochi vs. the Frogs,' and it began sweet and playful. Mochi's hooman told us, "When we went out of town, our friends who were catsitting got the kitties some toys from Ikea. One of those toys was the frog toy. Mochi first started playing fetch with it. She would bring it to our bed and then we would toss it down the stairs, and then she would bring it back to the bed. Then one time we put it on a ledge in the apartment thinking she would play fetch with it but instead, she knocked it over. Then she kept knocking it over wherever we placed it."

Eventually, the stuffed frogs were discontinued by Ikea, so Mochi's pawrents ordered 7 of them from eBay, just in case. Then, last year, Ikea brought them back in stock and they have gathered over 100 toy frogs! "We put about 50 of them in a big bin, and then Mochi started bringing trails of frogs to us every night. When she only had seven frogs, she would sometimes bring 3–4 to our bedroom, but now she sometimes brings up to 30 of them to our bed at night!"

Since then Mochi's hooman has hysterically captured all the moments between Mochi and the toy frogs that haunt her. Watch the shenanigans below! You can follow Mochi and all her toy frogs on Instagram!

Sylvia's Tree Frog was newly identified by researcher Andrew Gray. Gray, a researcher at the University of Manchester, set out to prove that the new frog was not a Splendid Tree Frog. And... he was right! He chose to name the newly identified species after his granddaughter!
