It's not a frog, it's a toad, and it's called the Albino Horned Pollywumble, or Bufo fukdishid lidlbastud.

They're known for sneaking into people's homes at night and seeking the warmth of sleeping people. Upon skin contact, they secrete a toxin that causes so much pain, people choose to remove their own genitals just to give themselves something else to think of besides the pain caused by the toxin.

It also has an unusual vocalisation, a high-pitched croaking which sounds like, "Nuhdick. Nuhdick".

    Yeah, I suppose you're right, we do like to name things in an understated elegance.

    I'm not sure if this is a typo or you're a prophet of The Great Burn and the subsequent mutant takeover of the world.

    Are Australians know for their silly/cute nicknames, too? I only know that as a British thing.

    Also the only known venomous frogs are found in South America.

    Do you have to bring the tub with you when you go out, or does the restaurant and shops provide one for you?

    The funnel-webbed taipan is the only known snake that can fly for short bursts, has learned to open doors, and usually only attacks during the brief moment between turning off the bedroom light, and getting into bed. It's also known to attack people right after they put shampoo on their hair in the shower.

    It's venom causes instant death, after ten days of excruciating agony. One bite can deliver enough venom to kill ten fully grown African elephants. It was a sad day at the zoo when we discovered that, the herd never saw it coming.
