Frogs Mating · 08:50 AM

Caught these two at it in my back-garden. In the middle of the day. In front of the kids, and without the decency to cover up

Definitely not Horny Toads, but close.

Looks like frog wrestling to me.

--Nice capture.--charliezap

Nice clear capture, great color. From her size, I do believe she's done this before, and he may be a little late?

Regards!

Amphibian love is there anything more romantic

Thanks for the feedback.

What was more surprising is that I don't have a pond so they have come a reasonable way to get there.

They should get a room. Definitely not horny toads anymore.

She ran as fast and as far as she could......but a horny toad will not be denied!

Great captures.
I believe most frog species mate in water, so this could be quite unusual.
Thanks for sharing.

Nice capture. Our backyard have frog tree.

He has gripped her in slightly the wrong place, hence her "help me, I'm in pain/this is uncomfortable " posture. They must be on their way to a pond & cutting through your garden! He has found her & tried to hop on to "hitch a ride" but mistakenly forced her into that position! Grim thing is, if that were in the water, she'd probably drown before laying her eggs!

Shouldn't this have a Not Safe for Work designation.
