According to The Sun, photographer Lisdiyanto Suhardjo, 60, recently captured the moment a “goblin” frog swallowed a snake in a village near Jakarta, Indonesia.
Mr Suhardjo said: “These goblin frogs will attack any small creature that moves in front of them. In this case, the snake did not detect any danger as it slithered in front of the frog.
In an instant, the goblin frog seizes the opportunity and swallows its prey whole. It feels great to capture this rare moment in nature. Before, I also saw a goblin frog eating a small mouse, but I couldn’t take a photo.”
The elf frog has the scientific name Pyxicephalus adspersus. This is one of the largest frogs in the world, they can weigh up to 2 kg. Goblin frogs are voracious carnivores. Its preferred prey is insects, small rodents, reptiles, small birds and other amphibians.
