We’ve got a new pond which must be half a mile away from the nearest lake/river yet frogs and toads have populated it almost immediately. How do they know where to find these new habitats?

You know, I’m kinda pissed. I tried making an ELI5 post about animal behavior about a week ago, and it was automatically removed because animal behavior questions are against ELI5 rules. Instead I had to search for 3 different subreddits who would take my question, and none of them answered as sincerely as ELI5 would have, so I basically never got my question answered. But this person?? And many others here??? Can all have their animal behavior posts put up and not taken down. I’m fricken sick of feeling like my posts get targeted for removal by bots when other people can get away with exactly the same kind of benign posts. TOO MANY RULES!
