"The two frogs in your video, filmed on April 28, 2025, at Picnic Point Marsh near Lake Mendota, were... engaged in atypical amplexus (a misaligned mating attempt) or territorial wrestling."

"The reversed, head-to-tail position was caused by the chaotic breeding environment, with males possibly clasping incorrectly or fighting for dominance during a spring breeding chorus. The loud frog noise confirms a high-density breeding event, common in Wisconsin marshes at this time. The human-like appearance of the posture is due to the frogs’ flexible bodies and the dynamic nature of their interaction...."

So said Grok, answering my questions about a video made by Meade and uploaded to YouTube under the title "Froggy went a courting." I'd embed it here for you, but Meade has tagged it an "Age-restricted video," and YouTube and Blogger are both Google, and I don't want to trigger Google to "think" my blog should be age-restricted. So go to the link, but only if you're an adult. Because those frogs... Meade was right. 

For help understanding Meade's video title, here's Bob Dylan. And here's Elvis. 

Grok commentary: "In the song, Froggy is a charming suitor, but in reality, the frogs you saw were driven by breeding instincts, not courtship in a human sense. The reversed position was likely a clumsy mating attempt or dominance struggle, not a 'date.'"

Good call--I'm blocked from watching it on YouTube because IT has age restrictions on my computer.

A woman passing a pet shop sees a sign "CUNNILINGUS FROGS - $20 EACH".

Intrigued she goes inside and is told by the shopkeeper that the frogs can perform wonderful oral sex on women.

She hands over the $20 and takes a frog home.

As soon as she gets indoors she strips off and lays on the bed with the amphibian between her legs. After prodding and poking it - even rubbing it on herself - she quickly realises that the frog isn't up for it.

She jumps off the bed, rings the pet shop and berates the shopkeeper, telling him that he has ripped her off. He assures her that he hasn't and says he'll be 'round straight away.

When he arrives he invites the woman to lay on the bed, just as she was before. She adopts the position and the shopkeeper places the frog on a chair beside the bed. Climbing onto the bed he points a finger at the frog and says, "Right - pay attention, I'm only going to show you how to do this one more time."

6 views so far. According to the song, Miss Mousey was the object of Mr. Froggy's attentions. Have I been lied to since childhood? Maybe these guys are just wraslin'.

Ever the voyeur, Grok has spent much time observing the mating habits of all sorts of animals.

Ha! A couple of years ago, I visited Holland, Michigan, and went to Windmill Island Gardens. They have an authentic working Dutch windmill that was brought over from the Netherlands after World War II. I was taking pictures of the windmill and noticed a pair of small songbirds mating. The little female was singing her heart out, with her suitor behind her. I ended up taking a short video and posting it on Facebook with some '70s adult film-style music in the background.

I have it on good authority that coitus can be a natural, zesty enterprise.

Or maybe they were just doing it Froggy Style.

“I have it on good authority that coitus can be a natural, zesty enterprise.”

Give it a shot, Earnest. It may surprise you!

The last time I was involved in an amplexus was in the back seat of a Lexus. In Texas. Lawyer lady. Said she wanted it. LexusNexus style.

Joe Bar said...

I didn't know frogs could DO that.

Clyde, I really can't decide which part of your comment is the most disturbing: visiting a windmill; videotaping birds having sex at the windmill, or setting the video of birds having sex by a windmill to porn music.

Thank you for being a ray of sunshine.

Tina Trent said...

Also, Clyde, I just looked at your blog. You blog may be somewhere in the area I lived, off beautiful Cockroach Bay, which lives up to its name only at dusk. We apparently have friends in common. Feel free to contact me at my eponymous site, as yours has no contact info. This is neither a frog nor a windmill type comment, nor a reference to beautiful Cockroach Bay.

Except at dusk. Never go at dusk.

So two male frogs fighting for dominance is somehow proof of widespread homosexuality in frogs?
