I KNEW CAJUNS DID SOME FUNKY STUFF...BUT...

...this is even weird for Cajuns!

It seems that a new species of frogs has been found down in the Bayou that sings with a Cajun accent. Draw your own conclusions!

Whole article here: Aieee! New frog species calls with a Cajun twang

Quotes from the article:

These frogs, found in western Mississippi, eastern Texas and Oklahoma, all of Arkansas and far southern Missouri, don't say "ribbit," "jug-a-rum" or even "ouaouaron" - the bullfrog's call and name in Cajun French.

Sometimes more than 500 frogs will holler in a pond less than 20 feet square, Lemmon said. "These kind of choruses get so crazy, that if you walk out into the pond, frogs start hanging on your boots to have a perch from which to call. You can pick up a male and he will call in your hand," she said.

Until now, the Cajun frog had gone unnoticed

They even named the frogs after a Coonass (I don't know if he is, but he's got that kind of name):

Fouquette, now an Arizona State University professor emeritus, was honored. "It's the first time anything was named for me. I've got some colleagues that have had several frogs named for them. But then they publish a lot more than I have," he said.

It just makes me shake my head. I mean...Cajuns do some crazy things, and Cajun geneticals are pretty strong...but this, well...
