Lake Titicaca resident Don Ramon Catari is seen here holding scrotum
but that's cool, cuz he's on the right side of the environment now.



"Lake Titicaca resident Don Ramon Catari (back, left) once made a living illegally capturing frogs from the lake and selling them to international buyers. Alarmed by the news that the frog population might be declining, Catari has abandoned his entrepreneurial efforts and turned his talents toward helping biologists collect the motley frogs (front) for captive breeding studies. "

2. The frogs in Lake Titicaca
(I love saying that name) are called "aquatic scrotums."

"This explains why the saggy skin of a Titicaca frog seems to fit like the baggy trousers of a person featured in a before-and-after weight loss commercial. Even S.W. Garman, who discovered the frog during a 1876 scientific expedition with Alexander Agassiz, made a tongue-in-cheek reference to the frog’s exaggerated skin folds when he named it Telmatobius culeus, "aquatic scrotum" in Latin."

Yes, I have a dirty dirty mind, but this is educational too. Also, I enjoy the pun a lot.

3. aquatic scrotums...
:rofl:
Why I find that so funny probably speaks to a character flaw of some kind;)
