Frogs are beautiful! Besides that unfortunate starting statement, great footage.

I actually love frogs. I like how they just sit there and their throat inflates and then deflates in quick succession. They look cute. I like listening to their croaks. I used to live at a place near water. Now that I moved I kinda miss hearing the little buggers.

[@JohnSmith-td7hd]

"Frogs are not known for their beauty. But forget about their faces." What a stupid way to start talking about jumping.
