Is this a real frog, or a statue? Wild pic if real.
I hate to be a buzz kill but this looks like it might be a picture from the photographer known to tie up frogs with fishing line. Sometimes he'll super glue them into poses as well, and generally just isn't an ethical animal photographer.
Wow that's super shitty
Unfortunately a lot of images like this use fishing wire and super glue to hold the animal in place.
