Splat Frogs...

Alex has a great fascination for "splat frogs", who possess the unique
ability to run up the side of houses. Occasionally, especially when
alarmed by the activities of overly energetic young gentlemen,
they will leap off said house walls and make a very satisfying "splat"
as they encounter the concrete. Hence their name, according
to Alex. (I'm sure in Latin it's more along the lines of El
Splaticus Froggus Hommus.) Right now he has a container
of splat frog eggs hatching, in order to preserve the joy of
watching splatters for future generations.
