Frogs have been roaming – or hopping – the earth for the past 200 million years. There are more than 6,000 species of frogs. The world’s largest frog is the Goliath frog from West Africa weighing in at 7 lbs and is 15 in long. The world’s smallest, the Cuban tree frog, only grows to be 1/2 an inch long, likely because smoking all of those cigars stunts their growth. Frogs in captivity generally live to be about 20 years old and they are the first land animals with vocal chords. Julio has been singing romantic ballads since he was a wee tadpom. His tongue, which is as long as 1/3 the length of his body, can shoot out and catch insects for his dinner in 0.07 seconds, as well as romantically roll his “Rs.” Frogs have excellent night vision which has come in handy when Julio is taking a break from the spotlight at his Vegas residency at the Pomaggio Hotel. Feliz Pomidad is his biggest hit to date. He likes to unplug at his luxury swamp in Costa Rica where there are no lights or screaming fans. Although he is cold blooded and some of his frog cousins live in the Artic, are poisonous, can go without water for up to 7 years, he just wants to relax and unwind since he works so hard. Being a frog in the “biz” has its perks, but it’s also hard work being a pomlebrity.
Did you know that “Feliz Pomidad” is Julio’s biggest hit to date?
