1119. A Delicacy

'Brook frog eggs

The brook frog is a large frog known for eating water loving birds. They lay their eggs right before the ice sets in. The adults will hibernate by freezing their bodies in the bottom of streams or rivers. The eggs will hatch the moment the ice starts to melt leaving strange patches of ground without grass or other plant life. The floods will then push the hatches brook frog tadpoles in to streams and lakes. They are considered a delicacy if roasted. They are particularly loved by the birds that the brook frogs are known to eat.'

"That's an odd cycle of life. When they are growing and young they are prey to birds. Then when they are adults they prey on birds." Leon felt that this was an oddity he had yet to see. It was possible for some places in the ocean to have life cycles like this but that was how the ocean worked. Everything ate everything because there were rare times when food would not be available.
