I’m sure we all have experienced the feeling of laziness that even we are used to stroll walking distance places, we rather chose to take a cab to get there effortlessly – and it seems amphibians do the same as a cleverly lazy frog proved he’s one in a pillion by hopping a ride on the back of a passing goldfish.
One morning, 70-year-old Gran Andree Siwadi snapped the bizarre episode in her garden pond in Winton, Dorset while she was feeding the goldfish.
This idle frog was snapped riding a goldfish from one side of a pond to the other, clinging on tightly with his legs during the brief journey.
It wasn’t an easy ride for the amphibian though, as the fish desperately wriggled from side to side trying to shake the unwanted piggy back passenger off.
But despite the goldfish’s best efforts, the frog managed to hold on and was successful not to loosen its grip.
Until it finally reached its final destination across the water, at which point it presumably appreciated its unwilling driver.
For Mrs. Siwadi, the scene was something uncommon and surprising.
“I have never seen anything it before and I have lived in the countryside all my life, I have no idea why it was doing it. It’s very unusual and it kept us amused for quite a few hours . The neighbors have also been over to have a look but the frog hasn’t done it since. My grandchildren, Amelia, William, Joseph and Matthew have seen pictures of it and they found it very funny.”
“I lifted the frog off and put it back in the weeds as I was worried it would hurt the fish, which are all owned and named after my grandchildren.”
