Exploding Toads..

Read on, I'm not faking this...

In Northern Europe, at a pond in Hamburg and in central Jutland, Denmark, more than 1000 toads had been found dead, with their body punctured, blood vessels and lungs burst, splattered all over the ground/pond.. It a literal X-pLoSiON. No joke.

Some swore it was done by those freaky ALIENS, just like how those huge weird patterns on U.S maize fields turned up overnight some yrs ago. Some bet their monies on the natural science of prey-predation - crows swopping down & pecking those ill-fated crows at their livers, puncturing their skin. Some... simply can't be bothered.

Me? I'm an intellectual scientist. I go by the "crow-peck-thus-frogs-puff-themselves-up-&-explode" theory. Anyway, come on, spare those remaining toads/frogs some sympathy eh, go easy on those "fried frog legs with spring onion" and "frog legs porridge" for a while, & let the poor species regenerate alrights? Accumulate good karma...

My sincere condolences to all you toadies who have lost ur loved ones in this unprecedented tragedy.

i read in reuters the crows are behind it. they feast on the toads' livers (something like toady foie gras), thus they try to shock the creatures into exploding.
