the curious case of the frog army

this video is brought to you by Squarespace last year I never made a video on the Frogman because I was fairly certain it was fake but now he is starting up the whole process of building a frog Army again so let's investigate that's it that's my intro hey I'm Amanda you're watching swell entertainment and today we are talking about thin frog and his frog Army last year was apparently the first year he tried to do this and this year he is once again back at it like I said in the intro I was fairly certain this was fake last year just because there were just certain things where I was like that doesn't seem correct and then there was also the fact that at least one of the footage Clips we know for a fact he did steal from a YouTube channel so this year once it was started up again everyone was like oh my God it's starting again this is like ecological terrorists it's a little early for me to start throwing out the t word not that t word you get what I oh yes we are wearing my circle glasses today because we are doing a uh Deep dive scholarly Deep dive I think this might be the fit for my stupid little Deep dive videos in the future just because I look like I am in the background of like a drawing of a library and I'm at the focal point but I'm someone that you draw in the background to take up space but really quick let me tell you about the sponsor for today's

and thank you to Squarespace for sponsoring this video we are talking about thin frog two main important things that I think are important here one we have never seen thin Frog's face and two Thin frog has never actually shown us his real voice as far as I can can tell from his account he might have a burner account might have a backup account this account did go dormant for at least five plus months it looks like uh between the last update from his frog Army to the start of this year's frog Army so the likelihood of him having another account is probably higher than zero we do see his hands quite a bit and uh based on what we see we know this is probably a white guy and this is where it got me for a lot of this because some of the things that I caught throughout his different videos and things like that and also the hands themselves I'm thinking this guy's early 20s maybe a teenager for a couple of different reasons because he's really into the mud and the dirt but based on what we see of his hands they're pretty manicured is not the word I'm sure you all know someone who works with their hands quite a bit or Gardens quite a bit like their hands look at like I have more calluses than this guy you know and I'm just I have a dog who's crazy you know and I've worked in the service industry there's a certain lack of wear and tear to his hands that make me think that this guy is younger than maybe some people may think he is especially just the concept of a frog Army is something very Juvenile and I know that Tick Tock now is like this is the closest to a super villain we're ever gonna get I mean Elon Musk is right there and he is a grown man but I kind of get what you're saying it's like a cartoon super villain is what we're getting with thin frog and that's where again it makes me think that this might be a teenager oh also before anyone gives me a hard time this is probably not the same type of frog it this is it looks like a frog I think that's a frog I don't think it's a it might be a toad I don't know I'm a YouTuber with an associate's degree in English and one in Liberal Arts you think I know the difference between a frog and a toad when I just Google for and then click the first image that I like this could be if toad this could be a frog feel free to comment down below though and tell me how upset you are that I misguess the species of the toad that Earth frog whatever that is that's fine I'd love that thank you like I said originally there are several reasons of why I had questions about frog spawn and the Frog Army last year several things didn't make sense and weren't lining up to me but basically thin Frog's whole thing is that he likes to go out find uh drying up puddles or water sources that are just kind of like disrepair water sources where frogs like to lay eggs because they're shallow they're not going to float away that type of thing they can anchor better and collect them if he thinks that it's polluted drying up what have you and he was like I'm gonna Rescue all these frog eggs and I'm going to put them in my pond and make a frog Army he had this uh like a plastic pool pond that's like two layers that he got from a garden supply store then circled it out the water put in plants and then put in all these frog spawn and then was like I'm gonna build a frog Army kind of jokingly it seems and then people were like that's not enough frogs for a frog Army because he was just kind of doing the math of how many eggs are in a clutch when a frog lays an eggs and I did learn some a few things there was a bunch of videos that he did about the difference between toad eggs versus frog eggs apparently frog eggs are in like clumps and balls and can in fact fall off whereas toad eggs come out in like streams like almost like streamers of eggs I did not know that they're like stringy weird we just kind of keep collecting eggs for a while and what I thought was super weird too is that a lot of though he got them seemingly all at different times they were all in the same stage when he first got them but then they also kind of hatched in a fairly consistent time frame altogether which did not make a lot of sense to me I get if they were all actually lit at the same time but doesn't seem like they were considering where he's going to get the eggs the frogs don't seem to be there where they had left them I don't know just certain little things where I'm like I'm not a frog person but this seems fishy last year he went back to one water source quite a bit and it was when he said look this one's polluted you can see the the film on the top where there's been an oil spill or something like rainbow colors on the top of the water it's like so I'm gonna rescue these eggs and add them to the Frog Army and he did that quite a bit however when he would be grabbing the eggs and then also putting them back into the water I'm assuming he's not hosing down the eggs when they're in the bucket that he's using to transport them or what have you the fact that he was able to transport all these eggs seemingly from all these different water sources and a lot of them came from this one allegedly polluted water source then wouldn't some of that oil residue transport transport with the eggs into your fresh pond water source why is there no transfer of oil and throughout the footage that he would show us I would not see anything that would indicate that there was any oil or gas or whatever it was any rainbow film whatsoever that would make it into the water source that and then like I said tadpoles kind of grew at different times what's the life cycle the larval staves the tadpole lasts two to three months after egg hatching and before transforming into a frog the tadpoles feed on small organisms suspended in the water such as algae diatom and bacteria and organic and non-organic detritus so about two to three months to become a tadpole to a little frog that's understandable how long does it take eggs to hatch eggs generally hatch in two to three weeks but the time varies based on water temperature one dead egg is visible in this picture the opaque white circle whereas the other embryos are very developed and are close to hatching yeah then at least the first time around I think the eggs took too long to hatch based on what we saw it's hard to tell now because also the thing about Tick Tock is though there's usually a time stamp it's not always super easy to tell at the time and obviously I'm not super familiar with the frog life cycle so I don't know for certain how much I can gauge that on my own with just like my own eyesight the timeline now actually seems a little more accurate to like how it was before but that's just me with a wedge he saw just about his Frog Pond from last year it's very small very small then when he shows us quite a few of the footage there are shots and angles where he is showing us quite a bit of tadpoles especially at the tadpole stage when they were swimming around and transforming and what happened his footage where the camera pans and where he Zooms in he shows us so much that we should be able to see the edge of the plastic tub and we don't sometimes we do but not always and then there are also times where he claims to have cleaned out like emptied out all the tadpoles put them in two tanks so that he could change out the water because they were pooping everywhere and then he puts them back in however I feel like something that would have been super easy to show us the tadpoles in the tanks and he never does day 62 today is cleaning day the pond water is very dirty because one point for million tadpoles have been shooting everywhere first I got all the tadpoles out what took merely three hours I think that's a little weird and then we have the Rocks the version this year has rocks along the side of if we're believing what he's saying this year he's saying that the the pond from last year the plastic one had a hole in it so we got rid of it and it said he used a liner and like dug a hole and put rocks around the side of it and filled that with water and is doing a filtration system and all this stuff and put the tadpoles in like a small part of that liner pool that he has made now there's like big slabs rocks on that one but the rest of it is a liner that looks correct however for last year there were quite a few tick tocks where he uploaded so here you can see I'll put the video clip on the screen he's showing the entirety of the pool with just one pan of the foam this is from last year this is a very small space it's plastic he does have a rock set up on the one side but most of this there's not rocks yeah there's like one little Clump on the side of rocks that's it see this footage doesn't look right that footage is filler footage oh here's another video that probably indicates that this is a child he found a frog with a toad hanging onto it and said I thought they were mating and so he makes a joke about how he might have a half frog half-toed Army and then this year he said that he's found the same thing but was told that that's not possible and that they will not Spawn from canoodling I think this is a teenager I think this is like a a teenager at least last year here's what I think actually happened I think he got a fuckload of tadpole eggs okay frog eggs and maybe a fourth if not a sixth an eighth of them actually transformed into tadpoles and then maybe became frogs I don't know but I think far less of them transformed into frogs than he would have you believe transformed grew into frogs you you get my point then in order to keep up the appearances of oh my gosh look how many frogs there are look how many tadpoles there are we have frog Army on our hands he would splice stock footage and random internet footage of frogs in with his footage that he took of his pond to make it look like it was way more tadpoles than was actually true this is him claiming he added a stone in that the tadpole slash froglets all tried to get out the thing is my Karen neighbor has a fear of frog and there's a hand but they're wearing a bracelet and I think that's nail polish on their hand yeah they got a longer sleeve and I'm sure she won't mind what am I going to do with my 1.4 million frogs so this

one looks like his pond here you can see the rocks in the back the main reason people think this is fake is because at least one of these clips that he shows is in fact from Big Mac Daddy they're everywhere this account could be fake but it's 13 000 followers is the only video on his account bro where the did all of these come from and it's showing a bunch of little frogs everywhere OMG the guy that saved one million problems I hope you're the neighbor of that person who raised one million frocks and prophecy has been fulfilled I don't think it's the same area because this guy's in the US it looks like like I said we're gonna talk about the garden center again now that Garden Center I'm fairly certain is in the UK based on the license plates on the car that we see I can't find his Tick Tock where he showed the parking lot but I looked up the actual store and this is in fact a store in the UK so yeah my understanding is that thin frog lives in the UK do I think this is eco-terrorism breeding frogs saving them with the express purpose of creating a frog Army what else are you gonna use a frog Garden before if not to create Havoc so I mean in that regards probably you're creating Terror with little frogs so kind of but also I mean the cycle of nature the way that nature works there are plenty of animals and beings that just kind of don't survive once they are hatched and I believe that that's why frogs lay so many eggs is because evolutionarily they understand or know at least that a bunch of them are not going to make it you're also taking them from their natural ecosystem where if they had survived in that natural ecosystem then normal Predators would you know the food chain and all of that would have handled it and kept the population where it's supposed to be or as you know now you've brought them into a potentially Suburban era area or just a residential area at the very least and there's just not the same amount of their natural predators in that area super thinly connected but I think this is another way that we saw during the pandemic how when lockdowns happen and tourism basically came to a standstill around the world how much tourism had affected natural animal life around the world in different climates cities cultures where uh like I believe where was the country that Monk monkeys who were used to tourists feeding them were not having tourists feeding them anymore so they were like attacking locals and children because they weren't getting fed and they were like going and stealing food from the locals because the tourists weren't feeding them anymore you know it's like when you add in a new variable and then the vegans you see that variable and then you ain't that variable obviously there's issues I think this is fake because there's just not enough ecological Fallout I think from these tadpoles being placed this many tadpoles like I said last year is when we found that one of the footage was fake this person apparently did a presentation on frogs I can't there this person that shared this video is not the original video like my neighbor has to leave there's too many frogs um but there's a part of the video that I recognize so there's this part where like all the frogs are like jumping through this little green area and I was like I've seen this before it's from this video millions of Little Frogs by G Mike g123 on YouTube you can look it up it's there but here's some screenshots so the top screenshot is from the Youtube video um the G Mike G and then this bottom screenshot is from the Frog Army video that's the same picture so you can see there's like that little like oh where's my little like hey thing in both like it matches up it matches up perfectly he just took that video from YouTube yeah there's a ton of tadpoles in that water too he could have been using that footage from the tadpoles what happened to the Frog Army on Tick Tock the accounts only posted once in the last month claiming all the frogs are gone did the frogs all die or was this all fake from the beginning this year's video and everything's starting all over again between all of the inconsistencies the issues with the footage that clip arguably being proven fake on uh thin Frog's part and then obviously the neighbor not being his actual neighbor just a completely different person in a completely different country it looks like I think definitively we can say at least most of last year was fake do I think he probably still had like 5 000 to 10 000 frogs patch maybe yeah the fact that it's now been a couple of months and he's starting all over and there's no foreign frogs no other uh seemingly effects of the frogs I don't know I'm just calling shenanigans last year as well there was this guy froggy biologist he had a lot of feelings about thin frog and his frog Army so this guy thinks he's building a frog Army so right there you already messed up by just going out there randomly collecting frogs you don't know if they're invasive species that you're trying to raise and build an army out of which again is also kind of a big ego trip this could also be a protected species that needs special permits to handle because they're rare and endangered you could be messing things up there's a whole host of issues with having that many potential frogs in your backyard in a pool you could have a rampant disease problem you have other issues with cleanliness and you don't know what frogs these are or what conditions they need to live there's a reason we have biologists and agencies handle these things in order to protect the species the way they're supposed to be protected so we don't add more danger to the environment it's talking about how you don't know what type of frogs these are you don't know if they're protected species you don't know if there is disease again he did take them from in his own words a polluted water source you don't know if there's disease you have a disease outbreak bringing that into a pop populist where there's humans animals dogs cats what have you could lead to a whole host of issues in the comments section froggy biologists also shared I'm not sure his frogs are invasive but appears that random fish and salamanders too hatched so he doesn't know what he is raising do I think any of this is real not particularly if you are someone who I believe again this is in the UK don't dox this person if you do know who the Frog person is okay don't do that but do you think any of this is real did you go to school with someone who was like you guys I built I have a frog Army I feel like I've known quite a few people who if they had a frog army they would tell you they had a frog Army here is the latest video from thin frog this was posted about two days before this video goes live fairly certain that thin frog is reusing footage from the last frog Army Saga because some of these clips look so familiar and it looks like they're just kind of flipped around or cropped or something I don't know the other creators on Tick Tock that I wanted to highlight while I'm here um eel pit guy eel pick guy it goes by cow turtle he's got 1.2 million followers he apparently bought a house that had like a a root cellar or a septic tank or something down below that's like almost completely enclosed and it was like filled with water and so he decided to clean up the water and add cinder blocks to make like a little island and basically made this a whole ecosystem under his house and he has an ill picked eels he added fish he added carpeted uh just in insane carp I don't think carp's what he added but he had fish okay he has a whole little eel pit he literally went snorkeling in the eel pit the other day just snorkeling in the open with the eels and the fish oh he's got a catfish in there okay sorry I said carp that's not a carpet it's fairly deep now that's at least two three feet deep of water he names all the eels um I highly recommend following cow turtle they're fun and we also have this guy who scares the living hell out of me so this is fishing Garrett he has 4.5 million followers he does not feel God Animal Man none of it um he just goes walking around the Everglades the Florida Everglades and he's just then showing like oh yeah hey by the way look at this giant crocodile to his left gotta look out for those and then picks up a snake lets the non-venomous snake bite him puts it down and then keeps going you're terrifying like I feel like being in your presence would just give me an aneurysm here are some shuffling his feet in the Florida Everglades and then there's just a crocodile up ahead of him three feet in front of him I'm very glad you just seem very curious and like you're just like this is cool like very casual because I do think you have the potential to be a super villain if you wanted to since you don't seem to have any problem being this close to Danger you're an Animal Planet episode waiting to happen and not the good kind anyways that's going to be it um what do you think about the Frog Army do you think the Frog Army is real do you think that everyone involved is overreacting talking about the ecological disaster that this has or could cause um again or last year if it was real if any moves it was real do you think that the footage is all real and that he's not manipulating the footage whatsoever this is that many tadpoles if you truly think this is real where all the frogs from last year if that's the case what do you think happened to all of them between when he stopped posting and when he started posting the new series again this year let me know comment down below reminder I have a podcast that's watching a podcast reminder I have emerged probably just a shirt that just says that's too many frogs is gonna be the shirt for this video that's my patrons thank you so much for subscribing patreon you could also exploring patreon love listen down below I told me to social media that'll be up here I whack the microphone and that's gonna be Halloween day goodbye I don't know I still think this could be a teenager because of the fact that they didn't realize that toads and frogs couldn't procreate you know and other among other things thank you Andrew Allen awful BJ Cameron Christopher Chris crispy crispy crash China dirty one Don
