There’s only one thing for it…
..wrestling.
A male common frog in the French Alps.
He has spent all winter
hibernating under the ice.
But now it’s time to wake up.
Being cold-blooded,
he needs the sun to warm his body.
But once it sets in a few hours’ time,
he could freeze to death.
So finding a mate is urgent.
The weather is good
and he starts to sledge.
But this is not a one-frog race.
Dozens are rushing to the breeding pool.
This many frogs out on the slopes
doesn’t go unnoticed.
You can’t afford any slips.
It was all going so well.
Made it.
But all the females have already got partners.
There’s only one thing for it…
..wrestling.
Not this time.
Another latecomer.
A female.
Could she be the one?
Sometimes being late can pay off.
After all his efforts,
the male is not going to let this chance slip through his fingers.
