"The idea that there might be arboreal voles is not that radical – after all, tree-climbing and tree-dwelling are all over the place within muroid rodents – but what’s especially odd about Arborimus is that it’s only the females that live in trees; males (while capable of climbing) live in subterranean burrows or in piles of vegetation. In order to meet up with females (who might be 30 m up in the trees), the males do of course climb, and they also build nests in trees during the mating season (this lasts from February to September). Nevertheless, it seems that we have a fundamental difference here in how males and females partition the habitat. Is this reflected in their morphology? I don’t know, and I don’t know if anyone else knows..."

-Darren Naish waxing astonished re. obscure, freaky voles (The tree voles under discussion live in Oregon and California, which I didn't know before today.)

I don't necessarily trust the source of this alleged Chinese folklore, but se non è vero, è ben trovato. A legendary batrachian appeased by booze and opera: 

The Frog General (青蛙將軍) is one of southern Fujian’s most charming folk deities, a fallen Tang dynasty general said to have returned as a spirit in frog form. He favors high places on temple walls and answers summons made with clean vessels and strong liquor, his beloved offering. After drinking, his cheeks glow red, and his taste for opera awakens.... When the Frog General selects a show, fortune blooms. Wherever he leaps, blessings follow.

Hence, with some corroboration here. 

This may in fact have happened to me ten days ago. I'm still sore. 

In Japanese folklore kama itachi is a yokai that in English translates as sickle weasel. They look like weasels with spiky fur and long razor sharp claws and appear riding on dust whirlwinds, sometimes barking like dogs. They move so fast that they become basically invisible. Kama itachi travel in groups of three to hunt. The first weasel knocks the victim to the ground, the second uses their sharp claws to slice out chunks of their flesh, and the third applies a healing remedy that mostly hides the damage. This all happens so quickly that the victim believes they simply tripped, fell and scratched themselves and they remain completely unaware that their flesh has been dinner for a kama itachi.

Certainly can't disprove it.... Via Curious Ordinary on BlueSky
