Tree frogs have four digits on their limbs, so they either have 3 fingers and a non-opposable thumb, or four fingers depending on your poing of view. Either way, the pads at the ends of their fingers secrete a sticky substance which make it impractical to play at any tempo faster than say.....1/4 = 120bpm?
Aquatic frogs, on the other hand, have a rudimentary fifth digit on their front limbs and a rudimentary sixth digit on their hind legs. So while thumb position for the average amphibian may be unlikely and uncomfortable (especially with webbed feet), evolution would suggest that its only a matter of time before aquatic frogs have sufficiently developed thier extra phlange to the point where they can play bottesini's Elegy. |

Much like slabs, cochroaches maybe an important part of the evolutionary ecosystem, but I still think they're ugly. |  | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
