When i went camping this last weekend we went to the usk resevoir. When i was walking along the banks of the resevoir it was full with mating frogs, frogspawn and something more sinister...
There were dozens (they were everywhere) of half frogs. They looked like they had just excreted a football, their insides were all trailing along behind them, and there was a big gaping whole in their rear.
This is my theory...when the females spawn, all the eggs come out and she dies because the spawn has rips her apart. It doesnt matter that she dies because she has fulfilled her purpose. It completely puzzled me
Can anyone enlighten me??
Cheers,
Jake
