| Bio: | A joel (also known as a joelywog or pollijoel) is a larval amphibian, the juvenile form of a frog, toad, newt, salamander, or caecilian.
In this stage he breathes by means of external or internal gills, is at first lacking legs, and has a fin-like tail with which he swims as most fish do, by lateral undulation. As joel matures, he metamorphoses by gradually growing limbs and then (in the case of frogs and toads) absorbing his tail by apoptosis (controlled cell death). Joel depends very much on clean water. Joel is herbivorous, subsisting on algae or other greens such as boiled lettuce in captivity. However, he is a true omnivore, being able to adapt to a carnivorous life style as well. When kept under herbivorous conditions, his gut becomes long and spiral. Under carnivore conditions, his gut becomes shorter. joel turns cannibalistic under harsh conditions and feeds on other joels living in his pond.
Frog joels, like his adult form, is eaten in certain regions of France (Charente-Maritime especially). joel soup is a common dish amongst the Charentais but is relatively unknown outside their region. |
