Female frogs use a survival strategy called thanatosis where they become completely immobile to avoid unwanted mating.

Researchers observed this behavior in European common frogs, noting that females entered a rigid, death-like state when approached by males they did not select. pic.twitter.com/T9T8jJNJhC

Les H — 12/14/2025 12:39:23 PM

I spent $ 4000 on extracting a raccoon that got into the attic through a hole in the siding created by a woodpecker. It got back in through an attic fan and then into the house from the attic by way of a bathroom fan. As the article said, they will keep trying to get back in since they would be chased from nests by other raccoons and hunted by foxes, I had recently replaced the roof and had to have the gutters and the roof vents shielded as well. They caught two or three raccoons. I had chased one of them out of the house when it dropped in through an opening it made around the bathroom ceiling fan.

kidl — 12/14/2025 12:07:23 PM

Racoons can be immensely destructive. A couple of them got into a friend’s cottage (more like a house) years ago. Likely through the chimney. With no way out they just went crazy. They destroyed every piece of furniture inside the cottage within an hour or so until the security service arrived and opened front and backdoors providing them with escape routes.

That said, we also got to meet a pet raccoon which was the most loveable creature you could ever find. He joined us on our woodsy dog walks, teased the dogs and then retreated to a tree nattering at our dogs.
