Life of a Phrog | TootyMcNooty

  • 0:00 - 0:02
    [rhythmic music]
  • 0:02 - 0:06
    [narrator] Have you ever wondered
    what makes you happy?
  • 0:06 - 0:08
    Where it comes from?
    Or where to find it?
  • 0:09 - 0:12
    Well if not, I'm glad to show you
    exactly where it is.
  • 0:13 - 0:16
    Have a look around and try and spot
    something peculiar here.
  • 0:16 - 0:20
    If it looks like a round looking blob,
    just minding its own business,
  • 0:20 - 0:23
    you my friend have found a phrog!
  • 0:24 - 0:27
    [cheerful music]
    Now phrogs are very much different to
  • 0:27 - 0:28
    your regular frogs.
  • 0:28 - 0:32
    Apart from the unique spelling
    that phrogs have compared to frogs,
  • 0:32 - 0:36
    phrogs have a very much different purpose
    in life
  • 0:36 - 0:38
    compared to other known amphibians.
  • 0:39 - 0:42
    So if they have a purpose,
    what do they do then?
  • 0:43 - 0:45
    Well... they don't do that much.
  • 0:46 - 0:48
    I mean they're just phrogs.
  • 0:48 - 1:00
    [cheerful music]
  • 1:00 - 1:02
    To look at what they do exactly,
  • 1:02 - 1:04
    we have to focus on what is happening
    on the inside.
  • 1:04 - 1:09
    You see, it's interesting to note that
    phrogs are mostly full of serotonin.
  • 1:09 - 1:11
    Seventy-five percent to be exact.
  • 1:11 - 1:14
    Which is the reason why they're so happy
    most of the time!
  • 1:14 - 1:18
    Twenty percent of the time, they also
    focus on what is known as
  • 1:18 - 1:20
    dinner time!
  • 1:20 - 1:25
    Phrogs have a range of foods they may
    snack on in the wild.
  • 1:25 - 1:26
    These range from bugs [SPLAT]
  • 1:26 - 1:27
    worms [SPLAT]
  • 1:27 - 1:29
    caterpillars [BLEGH]
  • 1:29 - 1:34
    or flies... but... we don't talk about
    the flies, really.
  • 1:35 - 1:38
    But when a phrog starts to get really,
    really hungry,
  • 1:38 - 1:40
    that doesn't make the phrog happy.
  • 1:40 - 1:44
    That's when the last five percent of the
    phrog comes out in...
  • 1:44 - 1:46
    anger
  • 1:46 - 1:50
    [fast electronic music]
  • 1:50 - 1:52
    Did you know that by screaming,
  • 1:52 - 1:56
    the phrog is very slowly releasing
    some of it's serotonin,
  • 1:56 - 1:59
    making them smaller and smaller
    as they scream.
  • 2:00 - 2:02
    [peppy electronic music]
    As you can see,
  • 2:02 - 2:05
    phrogs come in all different shapes,
    sizes, and colours,
  • 2:05 - 2:08
    and if possible, like to stick in groups.
  • 2:08 - 2:12
    You may know that a group of
    regular frogs is called an army.
  • 2:12 - 2:15
    Well for phrogs, [SPLOOSH]
  • 2:15 - 2:17
    they're called a party of phrogs.
  • 2:18 - 2:20
    But just like any living creature,
  • 2:20 - 2:24
    they seek that special someone to spend
    the majority of their time with
  • 2:24 - 2:27
    and it looks like this fellow has an
    interest in someone.
  • 2:27 - 2:28
    [music trails off]
  • 2:28 - 2:30
    And sometimes, if more than
  • 2:30 - 2:34
    one phrog is interested in another phrog,
    they need to battle it out,
  • 2:34 - 2:36
    and see which one is more victorious.
  • 2:36 - 2:39
    [electronic battle music]
    How do they do that exactly?
  • 2:39 - 2:44
    Well, this solution can be solved with
    a simple dance battle.
  • 2:44 - 2:57
    [dance battle music]
  • 2:57 - 3:01
    And for those phrogs that are able to
    find love, they can happily
  • 3:01 - 3:04
    settle down and have a family.
    A family of hundreds!
  • 3:05 - 3:08
    When an egg is ready to hatch, it grows
  • 3:08 - 3:10
    a tiny little tail to help it move around.
  • 3:12 - 3:17
    The tadpole normally spends the first few
    days of its life feeding on algae,
  • 3:17 - 3:19
    and swimming around being a baby
  • 3:19 - 3:23
    whilst living amongst the friendly
    creatures that live in the lake as well.
  • 3:25 - 3:28
    Once the time has come, they will grow
    two little back legs,
  • 3:28 - 3:32
    and eventually, it's two front legs will
    start to come out.
  • 3:32 - 3:36
    Once they start swimming with their front
    legs and back legs,
  • 3:36 - 3:39
    the tail slowly starts to disappear.
  • 3:39 - 3:41
    And once they're ready, they can
  • 3:41 - 3:45
    emerge from the water, and join the rest
    of the party.
  • 3:45 - 3:46
    [DING]
  • 3:46 - 3:48
    Just like anyone at the end of the day,
  • 3:48 - 3:54
    phrogs also get tired when the sun sets,
    and start to get ready to go to sleep.
  • 3:54 - 3:58
    Whether that would be with their group,
    their loved one, or by themselves.
  • 3:58 - 4:04
    All are good at getting comfy and getting
    relaxed, ready for the next day ahead.
  • 4:04 - 4:09
    Just to do absolutely nothing.
  • 4:09 - 4:57
