Photographer Captures World’s Tiniest Rodeo: Frog Riding A Beetle

Makes you wonder if they can communicate with each other.

Sometimes these types of photos are result of animal abuse http://heejennwei.blogspot.gr/2013/08/pseudo-nature-photographers-of-indonesia.h

staged cruelty. The open mouth indicates the frog is distressed. They usually do that either for eating (duh) or when extremely distressed, like when being eaten by a snake. THIS IS NOT CUTE. Stop it! Shame on you, BoredPanda. Everyone was outraged when a dog got dipped in some water for a movie, but this photographer repeatedly staging frogs and telling BALANT LIES about how the encounter happened and we all find it cute? This frog is nocturnal, it would not even be active during the day. For the love of f**k, wake up and smell the cruelty.

Horrible, frogs don't naturally open their mouths like that unless to eat or when they're under duress. This is also a nocturnal species of frog and wouldn't be out during the day. But, that's because these are captive animals, and not out in nature. The photographer manipulated living creatures for some photos. So many comments from herpetologists on the internet explaining how this frog is not only put in unnatural positions (it's front leg being contorted in an unnatural way to look like an arm in the air, for one) just for photos. I can't understand people who call themselves humans yet are willing to torture other living beings for the sake of a couple of photographs.

staged cruelty. The frogs open mouth suggests it is very distressed- they do this when being eaten by a snake, for instance. This is NOT cute. The fact that this photographer (or others like him) keep doing this to frogs and the internet keeps lapping it up is honestly an indictment of humanity. We all got outraged at the one time a dog got dipped in some water for a movie, but someone repeatedly staging frogs (and they are easily damaged during this) and telling lies about how it happened.. we're just ok with that? Please wake up.

Friendship use

That looks like so much fun...RIDE 'EM FROGBOY!!!

That is so awesome! I love it. Makes me laugh hahaha!

Interesting

odd couple , but they still manage! :-)

La nature est plus incroyable que la fiction!

Seems artificial or "Photo-Shopped" as it is very authentic, the rarest of rare sights to photograph.

Thats awesome. Inspirational

where were they going? why did it need a ride? it seems slower instead hmm..

That frog looks like it is having the time of it's life. Look at that smile in the last pic!

So fun and happy and uplifting and beautiful. Just fabulous photography!

I think it's amazing ! What a ride !! Wild !)

KLASSE AUFNAHMEN

Cool pics.

This is most definitely staged. Like many others. I wish these people didn't get this much attention.
