What are some interesting things about frogs?

In Emei Mountain, Sichuan Province, China, there lives a strange frog, which can be described as a "talented musician". This frog's song is very pleasant, and it often sends out the tune of "135" and "135", just like a musician practicing the piano, so the locals call it "Qinqin frog". It is smaller than ordinary frogs and has a deep body. Qin frog's superb artistic talent is not because it has any special structure or special function, but its physiological structure is no different from that of ordinary frogs.

How does piano frog's music "play"? It turns out that it has its own unique "* * * speaker". This * * * singing box is made of mud in the middle of the water plants, with a small round hole on it, which can be jumped in and out. Frogs will make a * * sound when they sing in the box, thus making a melodious piano sound. And once you leave the * * * speaker, its sound is quite ordinary.

The feather-tube frog likes to live beside aquatic plants and feed on various pests. Therefore, it is not only an outstanding "musician", but also an outstanding "crop guardian".

Ten thousand frogs get together.

In a field of Guangji Temple in Nanyue, Hengshan, there are thousands of Shi Wa Party. Sometimes pairs of piles are actually two or three feet high, and there is a rare "frog tower" spectacle, which is one of the wonders of Nanyue. Shi Wa is a precious amphibian on Nanyue Mountain. Adult frogs are as big as bowls and look cute.

Frog committed suicide.

Near Lu Lu, a Hawaiian fire slave, there is a small town with only about 50 families. Although small, it is very famous, and its fame lies in the superb skills of local people in cooking frogs. The custom of boiling frogs has been here for hundreds of years. Perhaps it is because this town kills frogs without restraint, which has angered the frog world. They organized and held a large demonstration in this town.

The story happened in 1993. At the beginning of this year, people in the town heard frogs chirping before they arched out of the ground. People here are very sensitive to this cry, because as long as there are frogs, they will be rich. So, as soon as they heard the frog's cry, they quickly followed it to catch it, but they ran around and found nothing. Just when people were disappointed, the frog delivered himself to the door. One day, Basque, a townsman, just got up, opened the door and suddenly six or seven frogs broke in. Basque was overjoyed and quickly caught these frogs, slaughtered them and cooked them. But before the frog finished eating, another batch broke in. While Basque was busy catching frogs, other people in the town broke into these uninvited guests.

Then thousands of frogs rushed into the town. Every night, the town is full of bursting frogs, which makes people in the town unable to sleep. During this time, as soon as people open the door, countless frogs will jump into the house. After entering the house, they will not stop barking, or jump into the fire pit, or into the bowl, basin, bed, furniture and wardrobe. The whole town has become a frog's world, without a clearing. The traffic was blocked, too. The front one died, and the back one was crowded again. They don't attack people, they just commit suicide.

These overwhelming frogs attracted countless poisonous snakes that devoured frogs. Poisonous snakes also attack people, bringing unexpected disasters to this town. The local government had to send someone to clean up dead frogs and kill poisonous snakes. In this way, it took more than a month to gradually calm down. But since then, there has never been a frog here.

Just this year, within a hundred miles of Fiona Fang, this town, insect pests occurred frequently, destroying a large number of fruit trees and crops. And the stench brought by dead frogs to this town can't be dispersed for a long time. Since then, no tourists have ever been to this small town with fewer cars and horses in front of it.

What is puzzling is, what is all this? So far, people are still puzzled by this.

Toads and frogs that can live for millions of years

1783 in April, a quarry worker dug up a boulder in the limestone layer 4.5 meters underground in the suburbs of Paris. After splitting the stone, he found four live toads hidden in it. After they come out of the stone, they can still move on the ground They have their own nest, a little bigger than themselves, surrounded by a layer of soft loess.

A biologist took a bigger toad as a specimen.

Scientists have determined that this limestone layer was formed 6.5438+0 million years ago, that is to say, these four kinds of toads have lived in limestone for 6.5438+0 million years.

1946 In July, a petroleum geologist in the United States and Mexico dug up a hibernating frog in a coal seam 2 meters deep. When the frog was dug out, its skin was still soft and shiny, and it died two days later.

According to scientific determination, this oil mine was formed 2 million years ago. Frogs may have been buried in the seam when the deposit was formed. It can be seen that frogs have lived in the cracks for 2 million years.

Scientists have different views on the life span of toads and frogs, and no one can find sufficient reasons to explain this phenomenon.

Frogs kill elephants.

Frogs can kill elephants, and everyone's answer must beno. How can frogs kill elephants? It is also a puzzling mystery to say that strangeness is here and strangeness is here.

It happened in Kenya, Africa.

The time is1968 65438+the morning of February 3, in the Selijitai Plain, which borders Tanzania in Kenya. On this plain, many wild animals live. It has been designated as a wildlife sanctuary, namely a national park, by the governments of Kenya and Tanzania.

On this day, Hanniton, a policeman in the park, and Heini, an official of the Animal Protection Bureau, found five elephants lying on the edge of the swamp, moaning incessantly. At first, both of them thought it was poaching, but when they looked closely, there was no sign of being shot on the elephant. Heini quickly took out the first aid kit and gave each elephant a shot of cardiotonic and painkiller, but the elephants still groaned. Facing the elephant, the two men looked at each other, helpless. After a while, five elephants died one after another.

They examined the dead elephant and finally found the secret. On each elephant's neck, there are five or six giant frogs 20 cm long. They put their mouths deep into the elephant's neck and keep spitting yellow-brown bubbles. It turns out that the elephant was killed by a frog! Hanniton quickly reported this strange thing to the headquarters by radio and requested to send a doctor for support.

Five minutes later, a helicopter brought Chris, the most skilled doctor in the park. Chris looked at this scene, deeply surprised and incredible. He asked Hanniton and Henny to catch some frogs and take them back to study. But when they caught the frog, they both screamed in unison and immediately threw the frog in their hands like an electric shock.

"What's the matter?" Chris asked.

"Frogs have thorns." The two of them said in unison.

Finally, they carefully caught some big frogs and took them back to the laboratory. After dissection, Chris found that the skin color of this big frog is black and green, and the webbed frog is divided into three forks. Each fork is as sharp as a knife, and its back is covered with thorns. The strangest thing is that they all have thick and sharp horns on their heads, and an unpleasant yellow-brown juice keeps pouring out. After analysis, this brown juice is four times as toxic as the African cobra. No wonder those elephants died suddenly. They made frogs into specimens and displayed them in the showroom of Kenya National Forest Park. Since then, this poisonous frog has never appeared again.

It is puzzling why these frogs carry toxins. Where did they come from? Why did it suddenly disappear?

This mysterious frog left another unsolved mystery for mankind.

Discolored frog

Every year around the spring, people can see a rare color-changing frog in the swamp near Bamian Lake in Qingtian, Zhejiang Province.

This frog weighs about three taels, male and female are big, with short limbs and slow movements. Usually grayish brown, once in danger, it will become very brave and turn into various terrible colors: sometimes it will turn black, such as Zaocys; Sometimes it becomes a flower, such as a viper. When natural enemies see it, they are creepy and dare not invade. This color-changing frog can predict the weather changes, and its appearance indicates the arrival of the cold wind at the turn of winter and spring. Because of the wind, it is also called "wind clam"; Because it can be inflated, it is also called "gas clam".

The color-changing frog lays the strangest eggs. The day when the snow eggs are hatched in severe winter is their most suitable "delivery room", and the muddy lakes and swamps are their safest "delivery room". Those colloidal and transparent frog eggs are like glass beads and crystal balls. These frog eggs are baptized by snowflakes and gradually grow into tadpoles in spring.

Color-changing frogs love both men and women. When laying eggs, the male frog holds her waist and squeezes hard to "midwife" her. Once killed, the male frog and the female frog bear it together and never part.
