Una rana usa i suoi denti per mordere il suo avversario. POLOKWANE, SUD AFRICA: QUESTE rane maschio DA 10 POLLICI sono state catturate in lotta per le femmine
One bullfrog uses its teeth to bite down on its opponent. POLOKWANE, SOUTH AFRICA: THESE TEN-INCH male bullfrogs have been caught battling for females in this RARE spectacle that only happens once a year. A dominant male was photographed with its legs in the air as it grabbed the other male by the neck, pulling it off its feet and down under the water. In another image, the same male bit down on his competitor?s leg as the weaker frog tried to make a run towards the safety of the edge of the pool. Photographer, Temujin Johnson (25), from Cape Town, South Africa, was 50-kilometres north of Polokwane, South Africa, when he captured this incredibly rare sight. Just a few feet away from Temujin, a group of 10-inch male African Bullfrogs gathered to establish a breeding pool. African bullfrogs are one of the largest species of frog and males can weigh over four-pounds. Following mating, female bullfrogs can lay up to 4, 000 eggs whilst males have been known to eat their offspring. During the dry season, African bullfrogs will hibernate by creating a cocoon out of their mucus. When the rain softens the cocoon, they will know it?s time to emerge. The hibernation period can last up to two years. mediadrumworld.com / Temujin Johnson
