Screaming frogs

The first time you hear them is quite a shock, isn't it?!

 

Hi loofah
some birds like crows and gulls kill and eat frogs but most likley it was a cat. Frogs aren’t exempt from your cat for instance if your cat goes outside and hunts small prey and t if frogs are hopping around in your grass, your cat who might be nearby. And hunt it after alli If you think about it frogs arent much different than birds or mice but domestic cat wont eat it
If the frogs injury appears slight and the animal is active and able to move freely, then it’s best to just move the frog if you can to a sheltered part of the garden, away from the view of predators (such as cats and birds) and extreme weather so it can recover on it’s own. Dense foliage, dead wood or a compost heap are good places. Make sure it has the option to move to another part of the garden, should it want to. It should recover

 

I used to find quite a few headless frogs, I put it down to cats mainly, as most wild predators would have eaten the whole thing.

 

I have never heard a frog scream but a rabbit scream is deafening. Quite some years ago we were woken by shrieking. T'other Half ran into the lounge and a then cat had a baby/young rabbit. He was able to rescue it and put it in the orchard unharmed but frightened. It must have been brought in before close up and had hidden but came out and got caught again.

 

It has been known for a long time that frogs shriek or scream and that it is due to stress or alarm but not many have heard it. Totally different to the normal mating calls. Even Newts sometimes squeak when picked up
