Snek Bun

This is what I call an unlucky rabbit’s foot. Sitting by our fire pit and heard the screeching. This was late in the process. Not the first time we’ve heard it…last time it was a crow. Today, a black snake.

Injured frog has his eye balls in his mouth

It’s not a genetic mutation where the frog developed eyes inside its mouth. What you’re seeing is likely the result of severe trauma — possibly from a predator attack — where the frog’s eyes were displaced into its mouth cavity. Frogs have a unique anatomy where their eye sockets connect to the roof of their mouth (the buccal cavity). This allows them to pull their eyes inward to help swallow food. In rare cases of injury, the eyeballs can prolapse into the mouth if the surrounding tissue or skull is damaged. So yes, it’s a wild and real photo — but not a mutation or new species, just an unfortunate and bizarre-looking injury.
