  ABOUT THE DUSKY GOPHER FROG: Your USB is housed in a high-quality rubber sculpture of Lithobates Sevosus, otherwise known as the dusky gopher frog, commissioned specifically for this project. One of the rarest frogs in the world, the dusky gopher is also known as the St. Tammany gopher frog or the Mississippi gopher frog and was once endemic to The Gulf Coastal Plain but is now found only in a few ponds around Harrison County Mississippi and is currently on the endangered species list. The female of this species lays her eggs in ponds that emerge after heavy rains. Such ponds are called “ephemeral ponds” because of their ever-shifting liminal nature, appearing and disappearing throughout the year. The ‘gopher’ nickname is because adult frogs often seek shelter in holes dug by the gopher tortoise.
  The disappearance of this frog is a result of rapid deforestation and new construction in its habitat. The dusky gopher frog became semi-famous in 2018, when the US supreme court overthrew a 2016 lower-court ruling, allowing the US Fish and Wildlife Service to block private commercial construction interests to protect the habitats of this and other endangered species. This case was originally to be the first supreme court case heard by Brett Kavanaugh, before his confirmation was delayed by rape allegations, thus garnering a lot of international frog-related press amid the horrible hoopla. Unfortunately, his absence did not alter the fate of this album’s hero but beware puny humans – DUSKY GOPHER SHALL HAVE HER REVENGE!
