To Protect Itself, the Frog Inflates Its Body Several Times, But Cannot Escape a Sad Fate
In the food chain, the basic rule is survival of the fittest. To avoid predators, various animals have some unique defensive skills,froghas a patch on its back, a gland that produces poison, a puffer that makes its body several times larger, scaring off carnivores. In South Africa, a photographer took pictures of frogs, the bigger the frog's swelling, the more dangerous it was because the hammerhead stork's sharp beak pecked it through and became the hammerhead stork's food.In the photographer's shots, when the frog is immediately passed by,

the hammerhead storkwhen catching it, it immediately passes through, inflating its body several times. The frog's body is larger than the hammerhead stork's beak, so the hammerhead stork thinks it will give up.Frogs quickly inflate their bellies when threatened with external dangers and threats, to make themselves bigger,

this is how frogs and toads protect themselves,but the hammerhead stork is not afraid of the frog's toxicity, let alone the frog's growing body.


The frog's technique is ineffective against the hammerhead stork. Conversely, the hammerhead stork can suppress the frog. The hammerhead stork's beak is thick and flat, with a hook-shaped tip. It is very sharp. It can easily peck through the frog's 'expanded' body, turning 'expanded' into 'deflated', making the frog's body food for the hammerhead stork.In birds, the hammerhead stork is also a unique bird. The hammerhead stork family only has one species, the hammerhead stork. Its morphological characteristics are like herons but also like storks and some places like the corvid order. In fact, the genetic relationship of the hammerhead stork is not clear, it is more like a primitive bird.Its habitat is south of the Sahara and Madagascar.
