It seems frogs can tell you to go take a flying leap as well as anyone else can.

You learn something new every day.

5. Then you've never lived by a marsh, bog, or pond
Sonsabitches can be insanely loud with screams, gutterals, chirpings, high pitches and low pitches... Especially when there's thousands.

8. Oh, I have
I lived down the road from a large pond on a ranch near Carpinteria, CA. Many a spring and summer night I drifted off to sleep to the sound of thousands of frogs singing.

So I knew they were loud. It's the screaming that took me by surprise.

happening upon a screaming one in person.

12. I agree with others, it's disturbing
I watched with fascination, but felt like I was a voyeur of something on the lesser side of cruel.

14. It's a pretty clear "Back off!"
It doesn't appear the frog came to any harm, but he was one pissed-off animal and the photogs were not taking the clue.
