In October 1979, it was the harvest season of autumn, and this year in a rice field in Bijie, Guizhou, there was a jaw-dropping incident, the frog war, and a few local elderly people had witnessed it at that time, and now I still remember this rare thing.

Early one morning, the people in the village occasionally heard a few frogs from outside the village, and after a while they only heard the frogs croaking louder and louder, and when they heard it, they knew that many of them were chirping together, and everyone was strange at the time, frogs are generally called when it is going to rain in the spring and summer, how can they still chirp after the autumn harvest? So curious villagers looked for the source of the sound, to see what the situation was, and when everyone looked for the sound to find the rice field, the scene in front of them was shocking, only to see thousands of frogs of all sizes covering the entire paddy field, and they were gathered together to fight each other, including a lot of Negbao (toad).
The sound of frogs in the paddy field is loud, only to see that some of them are jumping and chasing each other, some are hugging each other and fighting each other, they are biting each other with their mouths, the paddy field is full of frogs with broken limbs and legs, frogs killed in battle can be seen everywhere, and the little water in the field is also stained red, it is said that this rare frog war lasted for two or three days, and the magic is that after the big war, the frogs that died in the battle disappeared, probably swallowed by the victors, and it is said that in September 1977, the suburbs of Guangzhou also happened frog wars.
It is puzzling why frogs kill each other. Some people speculate that they may be killing each other for their mates, others think that it is caused by weather changes, and some people say that they may just compete for the position of frog king, but the frog does not seem to have a frog king, and the frog is a solitary animal.
At that time, the rumor was that they were biting each other, and there were broken limbs and arms everywhere, but the frog teeth grew on their upper jaws, and their teeth were different from many other animals, because they belonged to the plough teeth, frogs could not chew food, just used their tongues to prey and directly swallowed the prey, and the role of their teeth was only to prevent the prey from escaping from the mouth, the role of the teeth was only that, then the statement that they bit off each other's limbs was untenable, so the truth of the rumors remained to be examined. After all, at that time, it was not as convenient as it is now, you can leave photos and other records at any time, in fact, what kind of scene it was at that time, I am afraid that no one knows, and the incident of frogs killing each other has become a secret that people cannot solve.
Frogs do swallow the same kind, but in the case of lack of food, the size difference is too large, that is, the big frog eats the small frog, as for watching the frogs with developed limbs will fight in groups, think about it is incredible, maybe it is just a good thing that the usual frogs gather to add oil and vinegar to say that it is a frog war, after all, the story is derived from life, higher than life.
