Kirby

The kirby (Aerobuffo roseus), also known as the pink frog, is a species of frog that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and sold as popular exotic pets across the world, although they have been accidentally introduced to southeastern United States and East Asia, where they have thrived and bred in the wild ever since. The kirby is about 20 centimeters (8 inches) in shoulder height and can weigh up to 5,750 grams (12 lbs), making it among the largest extant frogs. As one of its common names suggests, the kirby is mainly pink in coloration with red hind feet, spotted legs, darker pink sacs, and blue crests above its eyes. The kirby is omnivorous in nature, with kirby tadpoles being more omnivorous than the adults. When the kirby is barely a tadpole, it will already be a successful hunter, devouring both animals small enough to fit inside its mouth, which gives it necessary nutrients to grow and develop, and plant material, which will be digested to produce methane. This methane will be stored in small deposits inside its body, useful only once grown up. The methane will be kept inside the system of sacs located along the kirby's body, very tightly compressed against it. These sacs are developed from the vocal sacs of other species of frogs, and can likewise be expanded to a great degree. Once expanded, these methane sacs will give the kirby a wider area, allowing it to jump more and even float in the air for limited amounts of time. Once in the air, the kirby will move along with its paddled feet, allowing it limited but fast movements it will use to catch its airborne prey. On land, while an awkward-looking animal, these same methane sacs will make it deceptively light and mobile, helping it to hunt any prey it can fit in its mouth. Any animal too big for the kirby to eat will most likely be driven away by the kibry suddenly inflating, looking bigger and squeaking loudly to intimidate potential predators. Breeding season is during the spring months of March and April, when females lay many jellied eggs in streams and ponds. Incubation lasts up to 34 days, and the aquatic tadpoles are cared for by their mothers for up to 2.2-2.5 months until they are independent enough to live on their own. The average lifespan of the kirby is around 30 years, although captive specimens have lived to be almost 50 years. The conservation status of the kirby in the wild is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the kirby's widespread range.
