Woman saps cannibal frog in the act

A Bushland Beach resident sparked intrigue after taking a photograph of a green-striped frog eating a green tree frog of the same size in one mouthful. An expert at James Cook University confirmed that cannibalism is not uncommon behaviour for this particular species.
It's a frog eat frog world. Bushland Beach resident Kerry Roberts could hardly believe her eyes as she watched a cannibalistic green-striped frog take on a green tree frog its own size and win. Ms Roberts' attention was drawn after she heard frantic squeals from the distressed frog as it became a meal on Wednesday morning."

Heh, the cannibal frog's expression is priceless. It's as if he's trying to explain itself after being caught. "I know what you're thinking, but it's not what it looks like!"

Here are some non-human products to get you started. Guaranteed that won't fly in the US. It's called the FDA. There are too many regulations with blood born pathogens and all. No company is going to take the huge expense for a very small market (if there is one).

"We love our frogs and we have hundreds of them in our yard." Because cats are too expensive.

Priceless quote from the article : "It's Mother Nature so you don't interfere," she said. "Plus we have hundreds of frogs so it's expendable."

I have to be honest and say that swine placenta isn't at the top of my shopping list but I suppose someone must be buying it!
