EXPERT on Instagram: "In some frog species, female frogs have been observed playing dead (a behaviour called death-feigning) to avoid unwanted advances from persistent males. When a female isn’t receptive or wants to discourage a suitor, she may remain motionless and appear lifeless, causing the male to lose interest and move on. This unusual anti-mating strategy highlights how complex and creative animal behaviours can be in avoiding stress or potentially harmful mating attempts. Sources: Natio

This guy is recovering from minor injuries and is pretty much release size. Moved him to an outdoor pen today, and he demonstrated his "playing dead" skills for me - drool, gaping mouth, glazed eyes, oozing green smelly stuff from the other end, the works!

Female Frogs Found to “Play Dead” to Escape Aggressive Males 🐸💀 Recent research has revealed a remarkable survival tactic among some female frogs: tonic immobility, or thanatosis — the act of feigning death to evade forced mating attempts. A 2023 study published in Royal Society Open Science examined European common frogs (Rana temporaria) during mating season. In overcrowded ponds, males often compete so frantically that they indiscriminately grab at any nearby frog, forming dangerous “mating
