The beautiful Imbabura Tree Frog is found in the Pacific lowlands of north western South America. These hylids (Tree Frogs) have incredibly large eyes — We are lucky to have this species in our collection. I shot this image today in our new photo box, which was generously donated from David McIntyre.

“Oh, prbllttrrrp,” said Maurice under his breath, and fortunately no human knows how bad a swear word that is in Cat.

[I think I read somewhere that Martok’s remark in that gifset roughly translates to ‘Humans. Go figure.’]

There’s a note about this at Memory Alpha:

In a BBC interview, Hertzler recalled, “All that was written for me to do, was to sort of shrug my shoulders and drink. I said, ‘Man, if there’s ever a time when Martok would say something in Klingon, at least to himself, it would be then.’ So I said, 'If that’s the intent then let me just say [barks out some Klingon],’ which means, 'Humans, go figure!.’ So that’s what I did.” [13]

The BBC transcript referenced above no longer exists. But I pulled up an archived copy via the Wayback Machine. It not only confirms the Memory Alpha entry, but there are all sorts of wonderful observations from Hertzler in the interview:

The secret is this: I’ve said it before - Klingons are a race of linebackers. In American football you have the linebacker who is usually the most psychopathic, insane, fanatical ball player on the field.

I was a linebacker, because I had no real athletic talent, but I was insane, and I did very well. I brought that entire persona to General Martok. He was basically a linebacker in command. That’s my particular secret…

Martok was very much that way, and what I liked doing about him was he was both a volatile, angry, cranky Klingon but he was also extremely thoughtful. He had a perspective that most Klingons up to that point did not have. That basically came from the writers. They added and they added and they gave me the perspective which changed Martok over the five years that he was part of the show…

I don’t think Brannon and Rick [Berman] are that captivated by the Klingon empire, whereas Ron [Moore], I think, really lived there. He added a poet’s soul to the Klingon empire in terms of presenting everything about the culture.

So when Ron left it began to cut the Klingons out, and I think that was a mistake for the show. I think everybody needs Klingons. Almost every show on television, I don’t care if it’s Seinfeld or Everybody Loves Raymond [if] you put a Klingon on that show suddenly you have a little bit more action, passion, insanity, fanaticism, and people want to see that.

Martok is my favorite Klingon and I’m glad Hertzler was cast to play him.

i remember that phase of tumblr where the main form of communication was reaction images like you were encouraged to have a huge folder of them and reply with gifs to everything that was the site culture

[hugerez]

rb if u remember those gif game posts where you had to pick the 15th gif in your folder or whatever and that was ur reaction to being given a letter from hogwarts or asked out by dean winchester or some shit

#DrawDaily #561: Why I Don’t Want to Teach English. Dialogue taken from a Reddit thread about the inaccurate things that they taught you in school. Ink and watercolor, 8 x 8″. I drew this up meaning for it to be a quick silly joke, but I prefer to use references when I can even if I’m doing a quick comic, and I wound up redrawing it a few times and taking ages to set up the text and adjust the text bubbles and they’re still not quite the way I want them… comic creators really don’t get enough credit. I cannot imagine trying to make a full comic, or even just single frames, to post daily or weekly.
