Wild frogs play dead to avoid mating

[Ultum4Spiderz]

Very strange things happening in the lives of frogs !

These female frogs fake their own deaths to get out of sex

Female European common frogs will play dead to avoid mating during their "explosive" breeding, where several males attempt to mount one female at the same time.

Eesh...poor guy frogs. They can't even check to see if they're still warm without everyone finding out about them...

Not in the mood ... play dead ... I bet some male frogs still go for it.

I can see playing dead to avoid mating AGAIN, but that's just because I'm looking forward to having a sandwich when she finally hops in the shower..
