So I noticed different death positions frogs can take, and was wondering what each meant
1: front legs under chest, lying on belly, back legs sprawled out
2: front legs under chest, lying on belly, one leg sprawled the other folded
3: upside down will all legs out in pushup position
4: 1 or 2 but upside down
5: on belly with legs under/against body- I assume died in hibernation?
I used to keep toads when i was younger but this is what i have noticed
1: front legs under chest, lying on belly, back legs sprawled out
Means the frog drowned
2: front legs under chest, lying on belly, one leg sprawled the other folded
Squished
3: upside down will all legs out in pushup position
Drowned
4: 1 or 2 but upside down
Drowned or squished
5: on belly with legs under/against body
Suffocated,starvation,sick,or poisned
I've seen tree frogs in #3 and they weren't near any water
Well they could have fought
The position of their body when they expire is not enough to give an accurate cause of death. Most of the time it takes a Nechropsy to determine exact cause of death.
I'm sorry, but I had to chuckle bc reading this I got an image of the white chalk frog outline on a dark floor, like in some forensic investigation!
