Australia: White-Lipped Tree Frog Captures Sunbird Mid-Flight in Townsville
In Townsville, Australia, a white-lipped tree frog—Australia's largest frog species—captured and swallowed a sunbird mid-flight. Brigitte Szabo, a resident of the city, photographed the scene from her garden while watering plants, according to ABC News Australia. Jodi Rowley, a curator at the Australian Museum, explains that large tree frog species attempt to swallow anything that moves when hungry. Four hours after the hunt, the frog appeared 'fat and satisfied.' A second Townsville resident reported a similar encounter with a green tree frog.
