Snopes says it’s “Mostly true” in that they don’t know the origins of the color photo but the black and white one is authentic: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/frog-eyes-inside-mouth/
There’s frogs
😖
Quoting the article:
Most anurans retract and close their eyes repeatedly during swallowing. Eye retraction may aid swallowing by helping to push food back toward the esophagus.
That’s about normal frogs, not the mutated ones. They use their eye balls to push food down their throats.
What. the. fuck. What a terrible day to be literate.
My God. If wind hits my eyes it hurts. Can’t imagine them hitting against a steak. And the jarring effect on vision. Why? Why do this?
Amphibians are weird as hell, that’s why.
Love this one lol
This is what I opened the thread for.
I believe this frog likes see-food.
Ba dum cha!
They must keep their mouths open more than normal frogs just so they can see. Poor creatures.
That seems… inconvenient.
maybe their mouth is so open so often that this is more effective for them.
frogs have the most fucked up mutations
Well that’s one way to watch what you eat.
this would make an interesting sequel. I Have No Eyes and I must scream
What are you looking at.
Why did I have to see this right before bed
Intelligent design
They’re not even symmetrical, I don’t even know whether to send this to my wife to make her laugh, or send it to my wife to freak her out
the elder deep is leaking
And this is how nature invented eyelids 😃
