Petrified on the way to find love

Although he made great efforts to cross the ice lake Bindingsvann, Norway, a frog was still frozen and died before finding a partner.

The frog died hard on the way to find a partner

At first glance, this frog is like sleeping but sadly, it froze when trying to cross a lake in Norway to find a partner.

According to scientists, the sudden rise in temperature has caused this amphibian to venture out to the lake to find a partner. However, at night, when the lake is frozen, the frog will return to hibernation and die cold there.

These pitiful images were discovered and photographed by photographer Svein Nordrum (54) when he was skating here. He said: 'While skating, I suddenly saw something on the ice surface. Near me, I realized it was a frog frozen with cold. I felt quite shocked, the scene I had never seen before. I thought maybe the frog found a hole in the ice lake and was trying to come here. This is a unique photo in my photographic life. I feel very happy when shooting it. '

Silviu Perovan - a conservation coordinator in the UK - said: ' Although frogs often hibernate but due to a slight rise in temperature, they think that spring has come and wakes up to find a partner.' .
