Frog
Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the
chambers of their kings.
Psalms 105:30
After the Egyptian Pharaoh begged for an end to the second
plague, the Lord had mercy on his people and promptly blew the
amphibians into the Red Sea, from which they certainly would not
return. And since Israel's freshwater resources are much slimmer
than her saltwater ones, the frog doesn't exactly thrive here either.
Three of the five species of frogs and toads that do survive here
are in fact quite prevalent, such as the European green toad and
Savigny's treefrog, but it is much more common to think oneself in
a lizard's wonderland in Israel than a leapfrog's playground. The
Israel painted frog, once abundant in the Hula swamp, was actually
extinguished in the 1950's when the swamp was drained in an
attempt to bring under control a raging malaria epidemic. The area
has now become a nature reserve... but the Israel painted frog has
not returned.
