Ribbit often lies down in a pond. This happens actually so frequently and for such a long time that whatever grows in the pond will be stuck in his fur. It happens quite often that Ribbit has a lily pad on his head.
During his stays in ponds he will watch the wildlife start to live with him. Frogs will happily rest their legs from long swims on his head. Not only that but they will often entrust their eggs to him so he may protect them from predators.
