This is definitely not something you see everyday 📽 by @photographersdownunder Then again, this is Australia, maybe this is something you see everyday at 3:58pm. Sadly, I’ve never been to the most metal place on earth, so I’m not privy to what goes on down there. If true, this begs the question: what else is going on in the land of Oz that we don’t know about The next thing I need to address is the color of the aggressor. Blue morph crayfish are anything but run of the mill (unless of course you’re in Florida – there is a native species that is predominantly blue in color) but the intense colors in this clip might make you feel like you’re watching someone else’s fever dream. As for why, who knows. Basically if an animal presents as a certain color and has survived to adulthood, it’s fairly safe to assume that its limited edition pigment hasn’t made life harder for the animal, so it’s all water under a bridge somewhere. It is just cool to see them actively hunting, considering they are known for eating plant matter and other edible river debris. This frog represents a substantial upgrade for the crayfish and a valuable nutritional opportunity, especially considering the energy a larger, more substantial prey item can provide when compared to their usual diet.
