Truth behind frog with ‘massive penis’ after extremely shocking photo goes viral

The photos of a frog with a 'massive penis' are not what you think

Lads up and down the country can issue a big sigh of relief amid the shocking images of a frog with a ‘massive penis’ which resurfaced on social media.

People have been stunned by the 'well-endowed frog' that was snapped by a Facebook user in Australia back in 2016.

One of the images appeared to show the frog lying down on its back with... well, everything hanging out.

Take a look below:

Captioning the photos, the social media user simply wrote: "What the frog."

Joking in the comments, one person said: "Some frog is gonna be happy."

However, there's just one problem with these disturbing photos.

Gerry Marantelli of the Australian Amphibian Research Centre explained why the 'massive penis' you can't take your eyes off cannot possibly be a d**k.

And that's because frogs don't actually have willies, the third leg is most likely the third 'extra partially formed leg'.

"It's not a penis, frogs don't have them, but penises did evolve from 'legs' during embryonic development so an extra leg is part way there," Marantelli told Buzzfeed.

"Amphibians in one way likely invented the penis (albeit not the modern one)."

So how do frogs reproduce?

According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), 'in most species of frogs, fertilisation is external. The male frog grabs the female's back and fertilises the eggs as the female frog releases them'.

The American Museum of National History states: "Like fish, almost all frogs fertilize the eggs on the outside.

"The male holds the female around the waist in a mating hug called amplexus. He fertilizes the eggs as the female lays them.

"Amplexus can last hours or days—one pair of Andean toads stayed in amplexus for four months."

Which frogs live in the UK?

Amphibians are said to be the first back-boned animals to walk the earth and they've evolved to fit within the ecosystem.

The three most common types of amphibians found in the UK and wider British Isles are frogs, toads, and newts.

But because of the disappearance of ponds, hedgerows and grassland, frogs aren't able to develop and live like they used to.

If you want to help them out, by adding ponds (for amphibians) or compost heaps (for slow worms and grass snakes) some species might even start to decide breeding in your garden.

The most common frog you'll see is the Rana temporaria, the largely terrestrial frog native to Europe.

Colouration is quite varied - they could be yellow, pink, red, orange or black.
