A video from foreign media attracted onlookers. Because this video shows that a large pond in a certain state in India is full of golden frogs. These golden frogs are full of energy, jumping around in groups in the pond, and the golden color is dazzling. The scene is very shocking.

This video was filmed by Parveen Kaswan, an amphibian surveyor at an Indian national park.

As a result, this video aroused everyone's curiosity and was viewed 140,000 times in a short period of time.

In the video, we can see a large number of golden frogs in ponds and paddy fields, fluttering their swollen blue-purple gills and croaking, which is very lively.

Indian frogs suddenly turned yellow all over, but it was actually just to reproduce.

When I first saw this golden frog, I thought that these frogs had encountered industrial pollution or chemical pollution, causing genetic mutations or lesions. As the video progresses, we will find that the golden color of these frogs is a unique characteristic of them and has nothing to do with industrial pollution and chemical pollution. This kind of Indian bullfrog will turn golden in June and July every year, which is very punctual.

The reason why this kind of frog turns golden is mainly because of the need to reproduce offspring. June and July are the breeding season for this frog. Every season, the male frogs of this species will turn golden and make loud calls to attract female frogs to mate and reproduce. However, the female frog will not turn golden yellow, but will still be the ugly brown-green color before. 3.0 ?The yellow frog is a species endemic to the Indian subcontinent with a ferocious temperament

This golden frog is commonly known as the Indian bullfrog (hereinafter collectively referred to as the Indian bullfrog), and its scientific name is Hoplobatrachustigerinus. The Indian bullfrog is a creature endemic to the Indian subcontinent and is mainly distributed in Afghanistan, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and other South Asian countries. However, according to the latest data, they have spread to the Maldives, Madagascar and other Indian Ocean countries, becoming local invasive species.

The male Indian bullfrog can grow up to 17 or 18 centimeters. Usually, they only show green or brown skin, and they only turn golden during the breeding season in June and July. This kind of frog is still abundant in India and other countries. It is said that a small number of Indians hunt these frogs for food. However, this does not affect the number of Indian bullfrogs, because Indian bullfrogs reproduce very quickly.

Indian bullfrogs are omnivores and will eat basically anything they can eat. According to Indian surveys, Indian bullfrogs sometimes prey on small birds, mice, and other frogs, and are very ferocious in nature. Even the tadpoles of the Indian bullfrog prey on the tadpoles of other frogs. This characteristic of the Indian bullfrog, as an invasive species, can cause great harm to other areas.
