The Truth Behind The Epic Photo Of A Frog Swallowing A Snake

Experts believe the snap was taken in Australia, although the photographer behind the candid shot has yet to come forward. Julie-Anne O'Neill was taking a walk in North Queensland, Australia before an oncoming storm when it happened. According to National Geographic, the air outside the area before a storm begins to "teem with life." In O'Neill's own words, "Everything goes ballistic. It's like a feeding and mating frenzy." Carrying a flashlight with her, O'Neill was hoping to capture some of the active wildlife on camera. Eventually, she heard an unmistakable screech that she knew came from a frog. In front of her was the biggest Australian green tree frog that the native had ever seen. "It opened its mouth, and I thought 'Oh my gosh; what the heck!'" she recalled.
