Snopes says it’s “Mostly true” in that they don’t know the origins of the color photo but the black and white one is authentic: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/frog-eyes-inside-mouth/

      maybe their mouth is so open so often that this is more effective for them.

    Well that’s one way to watch what you eat.

    Quoting the article:

    Most anurans retract and close their eyes repeatedly during swallowing. Eye retraction may aid swallowing by helping to push food back toward the esophagus.

    That’s about normal frogs, not the mutated ones. They use their eye balls to push food down their throats.

    What. the. fuck. What a terrible day to be literate.

      My God. If wind hits my eyes it hurts. Can’t imagine them hitting against a steak. And the jarring effect on vision. Why? Why do this?

    They’re not even symmetrical, I don’t even know whether to send this to my wife to make her laugh, or send it to my wife to freak her out

    That’s actually great. Now it can watch what it eats.

    They must keep their mouths open more than normal frogs just so they can see. Poor creatures.
