Oh, its a bullfrog. Pretty normal for them.

They've been known to eat anything ranging from
mice to birds to ducklings. Basically anything they can fit in their mouth.

That's a pretty cool video, though. I've never actually seen one eat a bird.

Very strange. I dunno why but I have the biggest urge to sing "ITS THE CIRCLE OF LIFFFFFEEEEE!" from the Lion king. xD

~SG~

It's a little unnerving to watch an amphibian devour a mammal.

It reminds of a documentary I had seen a year ago on praying mantises. In the video, it was showing how blood-chilling it can be watch an insect slowly consume a mammal (a mouse) for its meal. Another frightening aspect of watching an insect devour a mammal is, they don't seem to have an understanding of nerve endings or basic mammalian physiology. You see, when lions for example, go hunting, they immediately attack the throats of their prey, this causes a quick death, and they will only feast on their catch once it has died. As you will see in this video, insects don't seem to have that distinction, they seem to grab their victims from whichever part, and start eating from there, even if it is the tail, the hand or thighs. Can you imagine the pain of being slowly eaten, alive?





There are a few other clips on mantises on youtube, I suggest the one with the snake as well.
