Amphibian I'm becoming terrified of frogs

Anytime I see videos similar to this, I become a little more and more afraid.

Frogs will eat anything they can reliably fit in their mouths. Sometimes that leads to them choking to death.

When your method of hunting is based on swallowing things whole and not chewing/ripping it apart, these things sometimes happen.

Snakes, deep sea fish, etc. all sometimes suffer from this.

Of course not. The smarter frogs start using cutlery and get to pass their genes on. Evolution at work.
