smeet

The migratory Arctic Smeet Frog is the only amphibian possessing a furry coat and capable of flight. Numbering in the hundreds of thousands, they are thought to have been a mainstay of the Winter diet of Native Americans who camped by the waters of the Huron. They are now a protected species, and the hunting of Smeets is strictly forbidden.

The smeet frog spends much of its day under water coming out only on moonlit nights
