3. The big leopard frogs in my pond are not happy - the black racer snake is still hunting

Usually by now, he'd be curled up in his den ready to sleep out most of the winter But just the other day he caught one of the larger frogs in the pond. We heard the frog screaming as the snake dragged him off the edge of the pond and started coiling around him.

Of course the lesser frogs are happy they've moved up the pecking order - but they are aware that just makes them more likely to be eaten.

If you're lucky they left some tadpoles to take their places csziggy Nov 2015 #5
