"Gladiator frogs are so named because of the aggressive nature of males. Female gladiator frogs only mate with males that provide a nest. Males can acquire a nest either by building one, using a suitable water-filled depression, or conquering another male's nest; the aggressive behaviour of males relates to the third strategy."

Have you ever seen a frog fight?

i can't take credit for the resolution.....that's all thanks to nikon's high resolution, 46MP D850 and the excellent 105 micro nikkor lens to provide the necessary detail. i just aim, focus and shoot.
