I keep coming across strange fables of bird and beast in the pages of my Science News. Like these female frogs who, if sufficiently frustrated, can turn themselves into fully functioning male frogs. Or rumours about birds who sleep in flight, remaining airborne for months at a time.

Are you as amazed by this stuff as I am? Or have you become jaded after all these years?

If you run across some astonishing animal hijinks, would you please fire off a voice card and tell me about it? I would love to hear what sort of things amaze a veterinarian!
