Froggie Went a Courtin'..........
And he did ride, uh huh!
Kermit porn!!!!!
Didn't see any sign of a sword or pistol, tho. This guy's obviously a lover, not a fighter!
Saw these two hooked up frogs outside work on the parking lot a couple of weeks ago. They started out beside a pair of dolly legs of a trailer that was due to be picked up soon, so I nudged them with the toe of my boot to move em out of harms way before the driver showed up for the trailer.
Thought it was odd that the male totally ignored me while the female struggled to hop off with him on her back.
So I Googled!
Seems that's very acceptable behavior for frogs of all species!
When the male assumes this position, known as Amplexus, he will stay there for hours or even several days til the female is ready to lay her eggs, at which time he fertilizes them as she lays them. If they're in water he goes into a form of hibernation so he has no need to surface for air, or search for food. The female goes on as normal, bringing them both up for air, and looking for assorted buggies to nibble on!
So, simply said, the female goes on about the business of life, self preservation, and preservation of the species, while the male could not give a flying crap less!
He would just as soon be squished by a tractor-trailer than give up on the "sweet spot"!
Men!
Mother Nature's a hoot, ain't she?
Happy Hump Day, Xangaland!
And Frogtown, too!

Finally, a little porn on Xanga! It's about time!
They seem to be camouflaging themselves for more privacy....
Oh, that is very interesting, frogs are so funny. I rememmbered that I used to catch them in the streams when I was a child.
A weird love story, PDF splitter, PDF split
typical male of any species..incapable of thought of anything else while in pursuit. But as far as frogs... hours?! Days?! wowzer! I'm jealous!
Great shot of amplexus - what you can't see is that he strokes her belly to help strip the eggs out... hehe. Frog love is fun...
Go Froggy, go! One of my favorite childhood songs. Ha. Great pic.
@Grannys_Place -
... Good one, Ruth!!!
Ahhh, sweet love in the mud... Mother Nature does have a great sense of humor... I learned something new and had a laugh as well. Well done...
@xdeelynnx - Googling it really surprised me, I learned a lot, too!
@Grannys_Place - Hahaha, thanks, Ruthie!
great photos. I gotta say this and the devil made me do it, "There goes another female with a guy on her back."
LMAO-sorry couldn"t help it.
Even female frogs are tough. I never knew this. Learn something new every day!
@WildWomanOfTheWest - There must be a thousand tadpoles in our dike out back, too!
@mlbncsga - Sorries! hahaha
We have four ponds, and the frogs have been extra prolific this year. There are babies everywhere!
@buddly47 - Frogs are smooth skinned, tis Toads that have have the bumps(warts).Hence all the folklore about toads giving warts.
Frogs swim, their skin is smooth, less resistance in water. Toads will excrete a watery poison when caught, frogs do not.
K' nuff said.
now I have this image of Kermit and Miss Piggy I can't get outta my head...geesh
@Bricker59 - Tim thought they were toads, too. You both might be right, I never could tell the difference. But then, toadie went a courtin' just doesn't sound right! lol
I'm pretty sure those are toads, not frogs.
But I don't live in Kentucky, so what do I know?
As always, good to see you here Harold!
@oxlorixo - Yep! lol
Hahaha typical male!!
@vexations - As long as she's not doing surveys in Cosmopolitan whilst searching for the apples, you're doing ok, Bill! Thanks, my friend!
Oh God yes, a survey like that would really hurt my virility reputation. @buddly47 -
"If they're in water he goes into a form of hibernation so he has no need to surface for air, or search for food.”
My wife says that while mating I often go into a form of hibernation even though we are not in water. She will often search for an apple or other form of food while laying her eggs.Seriously man this is the funniest thing on the internet this morning.
@Roadkill_Spatula - Haha, good story, Tim! From what I found on Google, frogs mating season only lasts about a week. Guess they gotta get it when they can!
@Kellsbella - Me? lol
@PrisonerxOfxLove - It does, doesn't it! lol
@seedsower - I had no clue either. That's why I love Google!
Look like toads.
At my kids' house, they get tons of fowler's toads croaking around the pond during mating season. Once I was talking with my ex-wife at the table and we heard a tapping at the door. I opened it, and there was a toad, looking up at me! So I carried him through the house to the pond area so he could join the fun.
You're such a horny, er, horned toad!
Two frogs humping sounds like an Indian from Dances With Wolves.
I have some froggy porn of my own, I had no clue! You have a great shot there!
@plantinthewindow - Haha, true!
this is funny. so, she has to carry several hundred children, and her hubby? wow.
Leah needs to see this. she's the queen of grasshopper porn.
@ShimmerBodyCream - Hahaha, I'm green with envy!
romantical!
