Strange frog 'nest' in the fish's throat

A professional fisherman in Australia was amazed to find a living tree frog, residing inside a giant jungle perch's mouth.

The odd thing happened to Angus James when he was fishing in the water area about an hour's drive from Townsville, north of Queensland, Australia.

Mr. James said, when he took off his fishing hook from the mouth of a giant male seahorse that had just been 'snapped', he was amazed to find a green tree frog sitting in its throat. Because he always carries his camera with him, James quickly recorded a rare sight.

The special thing about the photo is, the frog seems to be smiling when the camera blinks. Soon after, the frog jumped over James's head and escaped.

After capturing a strange scene at the end of the week, James sent a photo to Reptiles magazine. When posted on the magazine's Facebook page, the photo immediately attracted more than 40,000 " likes" and up to 2,000 different comments.

According to experts, green frogs are a naturally occurring species in Australia and New Guinea. This amphibian is now introduced into New Zealand and the United States. Green frogs have a larger body size than most Australian frogs, with a maximum length of more than 10cm.

Currently, James himself and experts still do not know how long the green frog has 'nested' inside the male seahorse's mouth until it is discovered. However, the average life span of this amphibian species is in captivity about 16 years.

Green frogs often crumble when in danger to scare the enemy and hiss when they are touched. Still, James said he didn't hear the noises, probably because the frog wasn't too frightened to be discovered.
