thegreenwolf:snejkha:artschoolsucks:iraffiruse:Onward, steed!This happened and humans still think they are the only intelligent life form on earth…PLEASE STOP TREATING THIS AS CUTE.These pictures of frogs and other animals are almost certainly staged, often with the result of the animal being distressed. Frogs do NOT naturally ride on beetles, and that open-mouthed gape is a stress signal in these animals. Here’s a link with more information, and a pertinent quote:Take for example the recent viral photo of a frog riding a beetle. The images suggest the frog is riding the beetle “rodeo style”, and the frog’s wide mouth suggests it may even be shouting “Yee-haw” like its’ cowboy counterpart. However, the truth is, the image has almost certainly been staged and amphibian experts, such as Jodi Rowley, have weighed in on social media, suggesting that the “mouth agape” posture displayed by the frog is only ever seen in times of extreme distress.Every time you reblog these photos, you are reinforcing the idea they are funny and worthwhile, when in fact they are perpetuating animal cruelty. -- source link
