"Can't talk now...........gotta Frog in my throat!"

[marc]

One major highlight of a recent assignment was finding a Green Night Adder on the road that had just bitten this frog and about to swallow him.
A rare treat to see, in fact if it wasn't on the road, we'd have no chance of ever seeing this event, such was his vibrant green colour and lush grassland surrounds.
This little guy was so ticked off that we had disturbed him he even lashed out by trying to twice bite our car tyre!

Once bitten, this frog was dead within a minute.
