    Holy moly… such a… so so so poor creature…
    I just… want to so carefully hug it so much…
    It’s so heartbreaking to see… no words…

    Please… please… if reincarnation ever exists… I so hope you will appear a healthy, beautiful, and magnificent one… in the future…
    Please do stay safe… dear wonderful creature… you do good already, and you will manage it!

      This really is a rare genetic defect that can happen with frogs. Emphasis on rare, very rare…

      The amazing part is that they even make it past the tadpole stage, they seem to survive just fine, despite their eyes being inside their mouth. Hell, they don’t know any different than what they experience in life.

      Live, adapt, overcome…

    Don’t (at least some) frogs use their eyes to swallow anyway? Like, when they close their eyes they get sucked into their head, which decreases the volume of the mouth, which pushes food into the throat?

      Lol frogs there evolved immunity to radiation, nah this is probably some where worse. Like Louisiana.
