It's a Frog-Eat-Frog World

Posted by Alex in Animal on April 15, 2009 at 3:39 pm


Some frogs are content to swallow a Christmas light, whereas others opt for a larger fare. Check out this green-stripe frog that took a bite out of a smaller green tree frog, as captured by wildlife fan Kerry Roberts in the garden of her home:

She said she heard a frog squealing and assumed that a snake had got into her garden was was eating one of the hundreds of amphibians that live near her house.

Kerry continued: "I was having coffee at about 6.30 in the morning when I heard some squealing and splashing in my pool – like a frog in distress.

"My first thought was ‘oh no, it’s a snake, how am I going to get rid of it?’. But when I went over for a closer to look I saw it was a frog trying to eat another one."

    Proof that neither small frogs or humans should be up at that ghastly hour.

    Gosh, that's gruesome. It's just like the episode on round the twist with the frog race!

    So if a snake ate a frog that would be bad, but if a frog eats a frog that's pretty cool?

    Mr. Toad: Please excuse me for the entire racket... I had a frog on my throat.

    Speaking of which, I wondered what happened to the small green one, is he still alive or did he croak?

    Looks like toad vs. frog. Not frog v frog.

    EWWW! There is nothing in the world more disgusting than a frog eating another frog. I think this is my newest phobia.
