Green Frogs - with the attempt of cannibalism
May 23 2012
That's how it looks at the moment .
in the biotope:
Mating season is in full swing and
the males are performing heavy territory fights:
Numerous females
aim for the edge of the pond,
to catch flies there in the gras:
And by doing that some ladies get,
very unladylike, in heavy conflicts with each other! 
The big green female Frog
seems to arouse
special rage amongst competitors:
As much effort the other female Frog makes
the fat green one stays unimpressed:
Well and while I made these photos, still giggling, something happened I hadn't planned on, because the fat one
just caught one smaller female Frog, which in front of her was lurking for flies and disappeared with her into the water:
The quality of the last two photos is not so good, but shows the experienced. - I'd like to think that the smaller female Frog could free herself in the water, because the fat one didn't turn up with her.
Best regards
