Frog war
(N.Z Press PENANG (Malaysia) March 29. Two species of frogs battled for five hours oh Monday, an event local residents believe portends a coming disaster, but which zoologists say is a tussle for breeding grounds. A fisherman, Mr Osman Bin Mahmud, aged 54, was attracted to the scene of the frog war about 6 a.m. when he heard loud , croaking. “I saw a mass of frogs gathering by the stream as I shined my torch along the banks. It was like two armies gathering for battle. The croaking was very loud when they began to fight, clawing at each other,” he said. Local residents say that the latest disaster after a . frog war was floods early last year |
