Do Frogs Fall in Love ?

[slaytonp]

I don't see anything wrong with anthropomorphizing frog behavior for your own pleasure and connection to them unless you are doing scientific research and putting this stuff in a paper. It makes it more fun to watch the action if we can relate it to our ourselves, whether or not it truly relates to complex human emotions (like love) or is just an expression of Darwinian type theory of behavior. Imitators are far more interesting in groups than in pairs in this regard. In my observations, it's always been the females who are the most competitive and entertaining, however. Right away, we have some skewing of our observations, perhaps related to the different sex and ages of the observers.

This is defenetly not a scientific point of view. I in fact i watch my frogs for the pleasure of seeying what silly things they will do next. But at this point their little details become habits. Its always the same with them, they fight with the same partners, try to mate with the same, and act funny towards the same. I just think its very curious that the behavior between frog A and frog B hasnt changed since they were 3 months of age. Zero still chases Tiny and this is probably due to the fact that Tiny gets his name from being the smallest Male in the tank. Wishbone is stilp female # 1, and in my eyes she has the nicest spot markings, so this might also have something to do with it. Truthfully Zero probably chases wishbone because she is the largest female and has the biggest apettite, and her genes looks preaty strong :P ....but it never the less is fun to watch and observe them and their habits..........
