  Hyalinobatrachium dianae

  Which is bunk. There’s, like, a spider species named sonicus hedgehogidae or some shit like that, for the lulz, but heaven forbid we name this guy after his lookalike.

  Yeah yeah, rules and conventions, blah blah blah. Some rules need to be broken.

    I’m pretty sure that when it comes to newly discovered species the person that discovers it gets to name it which is why we have stuff like sonicus and the Beyonce bee and the Obama insect and stuff like that.

      So is that thing going to start suing palaeontologists that discover similar species?

  This was 9 years ago, though. What’s the statute of limitations on good news?

    None. Go nuts.

    My brain: 9 years ago? So 2007 right?

    No that’s 2015 :'(

  Kermit’s froghood baffles me, mainly due to the neck frill. I was down a Muppet history rabbit hole recently and realized that he was originally just named “Kermit”, and didn’t become “Kermit the Frog” for some years. So he was probably designed as a frill-necked lizard of some kind and got retconned into a frog. Mystery solved, right? Well no, because then I realized he got the frill the same time they started calling him a frog.

  I was so distraught I turned to Muppet Wiki, which it turns out has an entire section on his collar. It’s an article of clothing. 😐

    Clothing?? Why would he wear only one piece of clothing, barely covering his frog body, in the same color as his skin?

      To be fair many dogs and cats dress the same way.

      In episode 402 of The Muppet Show, the Prairie Dogs steal Kermit’s collar and he laments that he feels naked without it.

      Per the wiki. Surely that explains everything.

      He’s a frog, they breathe through their skin.

  I don’t know, I think I’ve seen a frog it might look like more than Kermit…

  The person who found him marked the event by saying, “Hi ho! Kermit the Frog here”
